Sift the flour and salt together. Rub in the butter until the mixtures
resembles breadcrumbs, then add the sugar. Knead the mixture into a
pliable dough. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to just under
1cm (1/4 inch) thick. Cut out the shapes with the cutter, rolling the
excess dough again in between, making six in all. Move one arm of
each man closer to his side. Bake on the prepared baking tray in a
warm oven (160°C / 325°F, Gas Mark 3) for about 30 minutes until pale
brown. Cool before lifting off the tray. Blend the icing sugar with
just enough water or fruit juice to make a thick glac. icing and fill
the piping bag. Cut the ribbon into six even lengths. Cut the top off
the bag and secure the ribbon over the shoulder of each man, sticking
the ends at the back with icing. Use a little icing to stick a Button
in position on the heads, two currents for eyes and a piece of cherry
for a cheerful mouth. Finally add a Flake 'caber'. Allow the icing to
dry.
Cook's tip: Do not roll the shortbread too thin or the biscuits tend
to break. The quantity of mixture is exactly right to make six
biscuits. Either size of Flake may be used: the larger size looks
more correct but the smaller Flake are not so heavy on the biscuits.
Should you only have a gingerbread woman cutter, make a sharp cut
through the skirt with a knife and divide the legs.

NOTES : These fun biscuits could be used for 'going home' presents
carefully wrapped to add to the party bag. Makes 6.
