Gingerbreads and how to ice them well from What I Cook When Nobody's Watching: Recipes & Musings for a Simple Life (page 229) by Poh Ling Yeow

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    The spice is perfect in this recipe and it's lovely to have the honey and butter in the recipe when most have shortening and golden syrup or molasses. I didn't get around to icing them but the extra sweetness would have been lovely. I brought them to 3 different Christmas events this year and everyone loved them! Make sure you take them out based on colour and not time alone.
