Gingerbread Recipe
Here's a Gingerbread Recipe you can use to make gingerbread men and
gingerbread houses (see below) - brilliant for cooking with kids at Christmas.
This makes for quite a strongly flavoured gingerbread. For younger children
you may want to reduce the amount of ginger to ½ a teaspoon. The extra spices we
add at Christmas time when they just add to that wonderful spicy aroma of
Christmas baking!
12oz (350g) plain flour
6oz (175g) light soft brown sugar
4oz (100g) unsalted butter
1 egg beaten
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
1 teaspoon of ground ginger
½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon (optional)
½ teaspoon of mixed spice (optional)
4 tablespoons of golden syrup
Sieve the flour, spices and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl. Chop
the butter into pieces and rub in to the flour. Mix in the sugar.
Add the egg and syrup and mix into a dough. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and
pop into the fridge for an hour. Use to make gingerbread men and gingerbread
houses (simple) or gingerbread houses (traditional).
