How to Make Honey Jumbles

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 170g softened butter and 170g granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 60ml honey and 1 large egg.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together 250g plain flour, 50g wholemeal flour, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground ginger, ½ tsp baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle (approximately 6mm). Pipe 6cm lengths onto the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between each jumble.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
  8. Let the biscuits cool completely on the baking trays before icing.
  9. **For the icing:** In a bowl, whisk together 200g icing sugar, 2-3 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp softened butter, and a few drops of food coloring (optional) until smooth and creamy. Adjust lemon juice for desired consistency.
  10. Spread the icing over the cooled Honey Jumbles.
