Gingerbread Men

Gingerbread Men





I found these old cutters in the kitchen drawers. Thought it was about time to start practising for the holiday season!



What do we need:

350 gr. plain flour
1 level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 level teaspoons ground ginger, i'd put a half more in to make it slightly spicier

100 gr. butter
175 gr. light brown muscovado sugar
4 tablespoons golden syrup (or agave syrup)
1 large egg, beaten
and some currants, to decorate. I had to cut them in half to make them fit better.




Idea: Buy a glass pot or vase and fill it with gingerbread men, as a gift or just because.
