Ingredients

  • 100g soft brown sugar
  • 100g golden syrup
  • 225g plain flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 heaped tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 50g unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Sieve the flour, salt, bicarb, ginger and cinnamon into a large bowl. Heat the butter, sugar and syrup until dissolved. Leave the sugar mixture to cool slightly, then mix into the dry ingredients to form a dough. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 mins.
  • On a surface lightly dusted with flour, roll out the dough to a ¼-inch thickness. Stamp out the gingerbread men shapes with a cutter, then re-roll any off-cuts and repeat. Place your gingerbread shapes on the lined trays, allowing space for them to spread. Cook for 10-15 mins, then remove from the oven and leave to cool.
