Preparation

Step 1

1. Put the flour, soda and gingerbread flavouring into a bowl and rub in the butter.

2. Add sugar and stir in the syrup and egg to make a dough.

3. Roll out to about 5mm thick and cut out your gingerbread men. You can also use other cutters - stars and hearts are just as tasty.


4. Bake at 190'C/Gas 5 on greased baking trays (spaced out, as they will spread) for 10-15 mins until golden brown.

5. Leave to firm up for a couple of minutes before placing on a wire rack to cook.

6. Once cooled, decorate with icing.
