To celebrate the festive mood, our <strong>chef Alessio Bagnoli<\/strong> shares with you the recipe for his famous <strong>gingerbread biscuits<\/strong>, a timeless classic that smells of spices, tradition and conviviality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients (for about 25 biscuits):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>350g plain (00) flour<\/li>\n<li>150g butter<\/li>\n<li>150g brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 egg<\/li>\n<li>100g honey<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon ground ginger<\/li>\n<li>1 pinch of nutmeg<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<li>Royal icing or icing sugar to decorate (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Making the dough:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, mix the flour with the spices (ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg) and the baking soda.<br \/>\nAdd the cold butter, cut into small pieces, and work it in by hand or with a mixer until you get a sandy texture.<br \/>\nAdd the sugar, honey and egg, then knead until you form a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shaping the biscuits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C.<br \/>\nRoll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 5mm.<br \/>\nUsing Christmas-shaped cutters, cut out the biscuits and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baking:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden.<br \/>\nLet them cool completely before decorating with royal icing or icing sugar, if you like.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gingerbread at the December 8th Brunch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These biscuits will also take centre stage at our <a href=\"https:\/\/villadianella.it\/ristorante-vinci-toscana\/\">special Bollito Brunch<\/a>, held on 8 December in Villa Dianella&#8217;s historic cellars. During the brunch, chef Alessio Bagnoli will show guests how to decorate the gingerbread biscuits, an activity perfect for children too.
