Gingerbread recipe

This delicious gingerbread recipe is perfect for baking up a batch of tasty treats, ideal for an afternoon snack to share with friends and family.

Step 1

First, rub the butter into a mixture of flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger in a large bowl. Once you get fine breadcrumbs, add the Light Muscovado Cane Sugar.

Step 2

Make a well in the centre of the mixture, stir in the egg and 3 tbsp of Lyle’s Golden Syrup and mix with a wooden spoon to make a soft, smooth dough.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 190°C/170° Fan, 375°F, Gas 5 – while it warms up, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll the dough until it’s about 5mm (¼”) thick and stamp with a 13cm (5”) gingerbread man cutter. Transfer to two lightly greased baking trays (or trays lined with a sheet of baking paper), then re-roll the remaining dough and repeat the process.

Step 4

Leave cut-out gingerbread men to rest for about 20 minutes before baking. Then place them on the top and middle shelves of the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, swapping the trays halfway, until they’re slightly darkened. Leave them on the baking trays for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack and leave to cool.

Step 5

Don’t forget the icing! Prepare the egg white powder as per pack instructions and gradually sift over the Icing Sugar. When the consistency is a bit like toothpaste, spoon it into the piping bag with a fine No. 3 plain nozzle – ice the gingerbread men and leave to harden for a few hours.
