1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

Filling and Icing
Directions
Cream the butter and sugar and mix in egg.
Fold in cinnamon, mixed spice, ginger, flour, baking powder and xanthan gum and mix together well
Form the dough into a ball, cover, and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180° celsius/bake.
Roll out the dough onto a floured surface to 0.5cm thick.
Using a round cookie cutter cut out the biscuits and place onto a lined baking tray around 1-2 cm apart. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the edges have begun to brown.
Remove biscuits from oven and let cool
Place a dollop of jam on the bottom of one biscuit, and sandwich another on top. Repeat with all biscuits.
Add a splash of hot water to the icing sugar. Mix until you have a thick but runny texture.
Add a dollop of icing to the top of each Belgian biscuit, followed by a sprinkle of red jelly crystals. Enjoy!
