Mother's Day is on the horizon, so why not make some Mother's Day treats in the form of some delicious Herdy "Yan" gingerbread with love hearts on them? Warm, comforting, deliciously sweet, and a smiling Herdy face is guaranteed to make mum smile this Mother's Day.
Don't forget to accompany these with a good brew in her favourite Herdy mug.
Doing this gingerbread "Yan" Herdy recipe makes about 12 large gingerbread Herdys. Ready?
1. Put the butter, sugar, and syrup in a pan and melt them until they all come together in one homogenous mixture.
2. Sieve the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly together until properly combined. Then add in the melted mixture into the dry ingredients and thoroughly stir well until it forms a ball.
3. When the "dough" is cool enough to handle, roll it out to around 8mm thick on a floured surface and use the Herdy Cookie Cutter as a gingerbread cutter to make Herdy Yan biscuits.
4. Transfer the gingerbread Herdys onto a baking sheet and bake them at 160°C for 15 minutes.
5. When they're finished baking, make sure to allow them to fully cool on a baking rack.
6. When the gingerbread have cooled, it’s time to decorate! Roll out the icing to approximately 3mm thick (use a sprinkling of icing sugar on your work surface to prevent the icing from sticking).
7. Cut out the required number of love hearts, brush the back of the heart with a little water and fix in position.
8. Pack in a food-safe cello bag and decorate with a ribbon.
9. Proudly present to mum with a freshly made brew (in a Herdy mug, of course).
