Yield: 12 bears
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 ounces | Butter |
| 1 ounce | Caster sugar |
| 2 ounces | White flour |
| 2 ounces | Wholewheat flour |
| \N \N | Sweets, chocolate, etc. |
| 1 teaspoon | Baking powder |
| 1 teaspoon | Ground ginger |
| 1 tablespoon | Golden syrup |
TO DECORATE
Set the oven to 180 C (350 F, Gas Mark 4) and line two large baking sheets with nonstick paper.
Put the butter or margarine into a bowl with the caster sugar and beat together until they are light and creamy. Add the flours, baking powder, ginger and syrup, and beat again to make a dough. On a lightly floured board, roll out the dough to 2½ mm (⅛ inch), then cut into teddy bears. Put the biscuits on the baking sheets -- they won't spread much.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the biscuits look golden brown, set and are browning a little more at the edges. Leave to cool on the sheets, then decorate, using glace icing, little sweets, hundreds of thousands, some melted chocolate.
