How to Make Spiced Ginger Caramel Bites

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Lightly grease and line two baking trays with silicone baking paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream together 125g softened butter and 150g caster sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons of honey.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together 200g plain flour, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Roll tablespoons (approximately 20g) of the mixture into balls.
  8. Arrange the balls on the prepared trays, leaving 3cm between each biscuit.
  9. Gently flatten each biscuit slightly using two fingers.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the biscuits cool on the trays for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the caramel icing:
  13. Sift 150g icing sugar into a small bowl and set aside.
  14. In a small saucepan, combine 100g brown sugar and 50g butter.
  15. Stir over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
  16. Add 50ml milk and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  17. Remove from heat and pour the caramel mixture into the sifted icing sugar.
  18. Whisk vigorously until smooth and glossy.
  19. Allow the icing to cool slightly until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
  20. Once the biscuits are completely cool, spread the caramel icing evenly over the tops of each biscuit using a knife.
  21. Allow the icing to set completely before storing in an airtight container.
