BLOGMAS DAY THREE: Gingerbread Men Recipe

Ho Ho Ho!

Happy Friday! It’s Blogmas Day Three and today I’m doing a Gingerbread Men Recipe! It’s quite simple so great to do with kids and also gingerbread men are so Christmassy, it’s perfect! Here you go:

GINGERBREAD MEN:

Ingredients:

350g Plain Flour, plus some for when you’re rolling it out
1tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
2tsp Ground Ginger
1tsp Ground Cinnamon
125g Butter
175g Light Soft Brown Sugar
1 Egg
4tbsp Golden Syrup

Method:

STEP ONE: Weigh and sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and cinnamon into a bowl or food processor.

STEP TWO: Add the butter and mix together until it looks like breadcrumbs. Mix in the sugar.

STEP THREE: Beat the egg and golden syrup together and add to the mixture and mix/pulse until it clumps together. Kneed it lightly on a surface until it’s smooth, wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for 15 minutes.

STEP FOUR: Whilst it’s in the fridge, preheat the oven to 180c/350f/Gas Mark 4. Line two (or more) baking trays with grease-proof paper.

STEP FIVE: Roll the dough out to about half a centimetre thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut the gingerbread men out and place onto a baking tray.
