EASY GINGERBREAD BISCUITS


MAKES 12


300g plain fl our 125g unsalted butter 100g soft light brown sugar 2 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda Half tsp ground cinnamon Half tsp nutmeg 50ml golden syrup Gingerbread man cookie cutter (or any other shape you prefer)


1 Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4 and line 2 baking sheets with some baking parchment.


2 In a large bowl combine the fl our, bicarbonate of soda and ground spices together.


3 In a saucepan melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup together over a low heat. Stir regularly until the sugar dissolves, then combine this with your dry ingredients. Stir this mixture together until it forms a stiff dough.


4 Roll the dough out to around 5mm thick on a fl at surface (place the parchment paper from your trays underneath to avoid it sticking). Then carefully stamp out your gingerbread men.


5 Place the gingerbread men onto your baking trays (leaving 2cm between each one) and pop them in the oven for about 12 mins or until they are lightly golden.


6 Once they are ready, allow them to cool for a while. If you’d like to hang them up as Christmas tree decorations, pierce a hole through the top of each one with a skewer before they are too hard.


7 Once they are cool you can get creative decorating them. Use this template to plan a design ahead of time or just have fun!
