Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Melt the butter, add golden syrup and 2 drops of vanilla.
  2. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and egg.
  3. Add the flour, seived, bit by bit. When it starts to become a very stiff mixture you may find it easier to use your hands. Keep adding flour until the dough is ready to be handled.
  4. Sprinkle flour over your work space and roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  5. Cut out your train shape. (Tip: draw onnto card and use as template) you do't need to add wheels so a smaller rectangle on top of another rectacle is sufficient.
  6. Cut out your carriages.
  7. Bake these on a greased tray with space in between as they will expand. Bake for approx 10 minutes. Until edges are golden. Remove and cool on wire rack.
  8. Make thick icing and spread along your plate/tray/serving platter. This will hold the train in place.
  9. Place the train into the icing and add the wine gums for wheels.
  10. Prepare 3 smaller amounts of icing in seperate bowls, with a lighter consistancy and add colorings.This is for decorating the tops of your carriages with cargo, or adding icing letters.
  11. Decorate the train, platter, icing etc however you like with spinkles, silver balls etc.
