Ingredients
2 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ginger
100g butter
1 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp golden syrup
1 egg, beaten
Process
- Grease 3 baking sheets
- Sift the flour, baking powder and ginger into a bowl. Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in the sugar. Beat the syrup into the egg and stir into the bowl.
- Mix to form a dough and knead until smooth.
- Divide into two and roll out on a lightly floured surface to 5mm thick. Using a gingerbread man cutter, cut out figures and place on baking sheets. Bake in oven at 190 degrees C for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool slightly, then place on a wire rack.
