How to make Gingerbread Christmas tree

Yield = 1 tree
Prep time: 6:30
Cook time: 0:20
Total time: 6:50

Ingredients

  • 100g (1/2 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) golden syrup
  • 50g butter
  • 340g (2 1/4 cups) plain flour
  • 75g (1/2 cup) self-raising flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 egg, lightly whisked
  • 330g pkt royal icing
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice, strained
  • Silver cachous, to decorate

Method

  • Step 1 Place the sugar, golden syrup and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 3-5 minutes, until the butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
  • Step 2 Combine flours, ginger, mixed spice, cloves and bicarb in a large bowl. Add sugar mixture and egg. Stir to combine. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth. Divide into 2 portions. Shape into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to chill.
  • Step 3 Preheat oven to 170C/150C fan forced. Line 3 large baking trays with baking paper. Roll 1 portion of dough out on a lightly floured sheet of baking paper until 3mm thick. Use star cutters to cut out four 2cm stars, six 4cm stars, six 6cm stars, six 8cm stars, six 10cm stars and six 12cm stars from the dough, rerolling the dough if necessary (use the second portion if you need to, or reserve for another use, see top tips, p14). Place on prepared trays. Use the tip of a 1cm plain piping nozzle to cut out a hole in the centre of each star. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden and crisp. Set aside on the trays to cool completely.
  • Step 4 Place the royal icing in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice. Use a balloon whisk to whisk the icing for 3-5 minutes or until the icing is thick and increased in volume. If the icing is too thick and stiff to pipe, add a little hot water and whisk again to loosen up slightly. Place icing in a piping bag fitted with a 1-2mm plain nozzle. Decorate the points of the stars with icing. Set aside for 3-4 hours or until set.
  • Step 5 To assemble the tree, thread the 12cm stars onto a plastic dowel rod, glueing each layer with icing and rotating stars slightly as you go (see top tips). Continue threading and glueing the remaining stars, in decreasing size, finishing with a 2cm star glued with icing upright at the top of the tree. Pipe extra icing on the stars to create a snowy look and decorate with cachous. Set aside to set.
