Light in Flavour

When you want a delicate sweetness in your baking, using White Sugar or Caster Sugar can provide a subtle sweetness that enhances the other flavours without overpowering them.

Fruity

Using fruit can add a natural, fruity sweetness to baking, creating a refreshing, light flavour or adding sweet tartness. White Sugar or Caster Sugar in baking, allows the flavour of the fruit to shine and Jam Setting Sugar preserves the taste of fruit in vibrant jams.

Nutty

Coconut Sugar bring a subtle nuttiness to baked goods, elevating the taste with a mild, natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with tropical flavours.

Spiced

Using sugars with spices like cinnamon, ginger, licorice or chai can lend a warm, aromatic sweetness to baking.

Caramel

Utilising brown sugars or incorporating caramelised sugar syrups creates a richer, deeper flavor profile, adding a hint of caramel or toffee-like taste.

Chocolate

Chocolate adds a decadent richness to baked goods with its deep cocoa flavour, making it perfect for indulgent treats. Try adding a deep flavoured Brown Sugar to the mix for enhanced chocolate flavour.

Method
Preheat oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan forced). Line 2 trays with non-stick baking paper and dust lightly with rice flour.
Sift gluten free flour, rice flour and xantham gum into a bowl. Spoon flour mixture into food processor bowl along with Chelsea Caster Sugar, salt, butter, lemon rind and blend until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add egg yolk and blend for a further 30 seconds. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
Roll dough out between 2 sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick. Place in fridge to become firm for 30 minutes then using 4cm round cutter cut out rounds.
Place biscuits onto prepared baking trays 3cm apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until biscuits just change colour. Set aside on trays to cool and harden. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
For royal icing - add egg white and lemon juice to a small bowl and beat with an electric mixer until frothy.
Add Chelsea Icing Sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating on a medium speed until mixture is a thick consistency that forms peaks. Divide icing into 3 bowls and have fun adding food colour of your choice.
Fit disposable piping bags with star nozzles and fill with coloured royal icing. Pipe royal icing stars onto the cookies. Allow ½ hour for icing to set. TIP*Xantham gum is available in small packets in the gluten free section of the supermarket.
