Gingerbread is one of my favourite christmas foods and they are great fun to make,I make them every year and get great results every time,so I thought I would share my recipe with you.I got quite good reactions from everyone that tried my gingerbread and I am actually planning to do them again over the weekend.

Ingredients

To make 16 gingerbread buscuits:

• 350g (12 oz) plain flour

• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

• 2 teaspoons ground ginger

• 115g (4 oz) butter, cubed

• 175g (6 oz) soft light brown sugar

• 4 tablespoons golden syrup

• 1 egg, beaten

Method

Prep: 20 mins > Cook: 10 mins > Total time: 30 mins

1. Preheat the oven to 190 C / Gas mark 5. Lightly grease or line two baking trays.

2. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs; stir in sugar. Beat syrup into egg then stir into flour mixture.

3. Knead the dough until smooth. Roll out to 1/2 cm thick on a lightly floured surface; stamp or cut out desired gingerbread shapes.

4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden and puffed, about 10-12 minutes. Let them sit on the tray for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack.

5. Cool completely before decorating with icing
