Gingerbread Biscuits

 

I baked gingerbread men and stars to give as Christmas gifts.

350g plain flour

1tsp bicarbonate of soda

2tsp ground ginger

1tsp cinnamon

125g butter

175g dark brown sugar

1 egg

4tbsp golden syrup

 

Sieve all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Then add the remaining ingredients and mix until combined and forms a dough. Chill for 30 minutes and preheat oven to 180C/gas 4.

Roll the dough fairly thick and cut out shapes.

Place on a lined baking tray and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until dark brown.

 

I left mine to cool then decorated them with a simple icing sugar and water icing.
