Method
-
Preheat oven to 180°c/fan 160°c and line a baking tray with parchment.
-
To a food processor, add the flour, protein powder, ginger, cinnamon, sugar, butter and egg and blitz until a fine crumb texture that stocks together when you pinch with your fingers.
-
Knead into a ball on a lightly floured surface and roll out to a 1cm thick disc.
-
Using a star cutter (or cuter of choice) cut out 16 stars and place on a the lined baking tray, slightly spaced out.
-
Use a skewer to make a hole big enough to fit twine through.
-
Bake for 15 minutes until golden. When removed from the oven, carefully press the skewer through the holes in case any have closed slightly during baking.
-
Allow to cool fully before icing. To decorate, mix together the icing sugar and water. Add just enough water to make the icing thick, so it doesn’t spread when piping.
-
Spoon into a piping bag, snip the end off and decorate.
-
Allow to dry fully before threading twine through and securing in a knot.
