FROSTY THE GINGERBREAD MAN
Ingredients:
350g/120oz plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
125g/4.5oz butter
175g/6oz light soft brown sugar
1 free range egg
4 tbsp golden syrup
Writing icing and cake decorations
Method:
1. Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and cinnamon
into a bowl and mix well. Cut the butter into cubes
and add to the mixture. Rub together until it looks like
breadcrumbs. Add in the sugar and stir together.
4. After 15 minutes in the fridge, remove the dough
and roll it out to a 0.5cm thickness on a lightly floured
surface. Cut out gingerbread man shapes and place on
the baking tray, leaving a gap between each one.
2. Lightly beat the egg and golden syrup together, add
to the dry mixture and work it all together with your
hands to form a dough. Knead briefly until smooth,
wrap in clingfilm and put in the fridge for 15 minutes.
5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until
lightly golden brown. Take out of the oven and leave
on the tray for ten minutes, then move to a wire rack.
Once cool, add your own Christmas jumper designs
using writing icing and cake decorations.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350F/Gas mark 4. Line two
baking trays with greaseproof paper.
