Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 drops Pink food coloring
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and baking soda.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and honey over medium heat, stirring occasionally until combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
Add the milk to the honey and butter mixture and stir well. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix into a soft dough.
Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into small logs about 2.5 inches (6 cm) long and place them on the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between them.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the biscuits are cooling, prepare the icing. In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, egg white, and lemon juice until smooth and glossy.
Divide the icing into two portions. Leave one portion white and color the other with pink food coloring.
Once the biscuits are completely cool, dip the top of each one into the icing (half pink and half white) and place them back on the wire rack to set.
Allow the icing to firm up completely before serving. Store the Honey Jumbles in an airtight container for up to one week.
