Gingerbread | Recipe and Method | 12 Days of Blogmas

Isn't gingerbread the perfect snack for Christmas, so spicy and taste so yummy. We absolutely love making and decorating these around Christmas. It takes a little while to make the dough but they are well worth it. Here is an easy recipe for you all to follow.

Recipe

350g Plain Flour

1 tsp Bicarb of Soda

2 tsps Ground Ginger

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

125g Butter

175g Light Brown Sugar

1 Medium egg

4 tbsp Golden Syrup

Method

1. Sift the flour, bicarb of soda, ginger and cinnamon into a bowl/mixer. Add the butter and mic until it looks like breadcrumbs, then add your sugar.

2. Add your egg and the golden syrup (oil the spoon so it doesn't stick). Mix it all together until it makes a dough.

3. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and put in the fridge for 15-30 mins

4. Heat you oven up to 180oC/Gas mark 4 and prepare your tray with greaseproof paper.

5. Flour your surfaces, roll out your dough to about the width of pound coin. Use any cutters you wish, we like people and Christmasy shapes.

6. Place onto a baking tray leaving gaps in between them as they slightly expand. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until nice and brown.

7. Leave to cool before decorating, you can use icing, chocolate, smarties, currents, sprinkles....anything really. 

If you makes these I would love to know. :) Tag me on instgram Victoriajane191
