Gingerbread Men
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C (of 160°C fan forced oven) and line 2 x baking trays with greaseproof paper.
- Put the flour, ginger and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl and rub in the soft butter.
- Add the sugar and stir in the syrup and egg to make a firm dough.
- Roll out to about 5mm thick and cut out your gingerbread men. Bake at 190°C on greased baking trays (spaced out, as they will spread) for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Leave to firm up for a couple of minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool.
- Once cooled, decorate!
