"Dough mode" .Press dough into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
Place the dough on a sheet of baking paper with lots of flour and roll out until about 4mm thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Place on trays about 3cm apart. Repeat with any excess dough.
Bake for 8 -10 minutes, transfer onto cooling rack with an egg slide.
Place Butterfly in a cleaned, dry bowl and place egg white inside.
Beat for 3 mins/50 degrees/speed 4.
Continuing at speed 4, gradually add icing sugar through the hole in the lid - weigh the emptying bag.

Pour icing into a sandwich-sized zip lock bag, and snip one corner off to pipe the icing onto the men.

Tip
Allowing the dough to cool in the fridge means it will hold together better when you cut out the shapes.
This recipe is an adaption of a recipe from Australian Good Taste - December 2003 , Page 40, and I used "Bec's Gingerbread Dough" as a guide for the method.
