Ingredients
- 350g Plain Flour
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
- 100g butter
- 175g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 4 tbsp golden syrup
Method
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 190°C. Put the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger into a bowl and rub in the butter.
Step 2
Add the sugar and stir in the syrup and egg to make a firm dough.
Step 3
Roll out the dough to about 5mm thick and cut out your gingerbread into any shape that you like. If you are making decorations then remember to make a hole so it can be hung on the tree with ribbon.
Step 4
Bake on greased baking trays (spaced out, as they will spread) for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Leave to firm up for a couple of minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool. Once cooled you can decorate your gingerbread with icing, glitter and other decorations.
