Gingerbread Decorations
Every year, we make this incredibly easy gingerbread recipe and pop the decorations on the Castle’s Christmas tree - but they don’t seem to hang around for long! Why not give them a go at home this festive season…

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda, sifted
Icing
1 egg white
55g unrefined icing sugar, sifted
A squeeze of lemon juice
Method
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees / Gas Mark 5.
Beat the butter and brown sugar until light and creamy.
