Gingerbread Men: Classic British recipe for a crisp biscuit (cookie) flavoured with ginger that are cut into human shapes before baking.
Ingredients:
3 tbsp golden syrup
75g caster sugar
1 tbsp water
1 tsp ground
cinnamon
1 tsp mixed spice
1½ tsp ground
ginger
75g butter
1/2 tsp baking soda
225g plain flour
Method:
Add the syrup, sugar, water and spices to a large saucepan and melt over gentle heat. Increase the heat and bring to the boil, stirring well. Take off the heat and add the butter and baking soda. Add just enough sifted flour to make a firm dough then set aside to cool.
Once cold roll the dough out to about 5mm thick and cut into shape with a sharp knife or with pastry cutters. Decorate with currants or chocolate chips and place on a greased baking sheet. Place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4) and bake for 12 minutes, until crisp and golden.
