Gingerbread Gift Box
Sift together the plain flour, ground ginger, and bicarbonate of soda.
Combine the Lyle’s Golden Syrup, butter, and soft dark brown sugar in a saucepan. Gently heat until fully melted.
Stir the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture. Gently knead the dough to bring it together.
Roll the dough out onto a sheet of baking paper. Cut out four 4x4 inch squares and bake in the oven for 8-12 minutes at 200C/180C (fan)/gas mark 6.
While the gingerbread cools, whisk together the egg whites, icing sugar, and lemon juice until thick.
Decorate the panels and leave to dry completely.
Using a square cake card (or piece of card wrapped in foil) as a base, use the icing to stick the four panels together. Seal the edges with a thick seam of royal icing to prevent any breakages.
Fill the box with Golden Syrup toffees. Wrap in a sheet of cellophane and seal with a big, jolly bow.
