This one is another one for Michelle, and also for Lee (though I am sorry it is not the sticky kind).
You will need
- 100g butter
- 3 tbsp golden syrup
- 350g self-raising flour
- 1-2 tsp ground ginger
- 100g caster sugar
- 1 egg (beaten)
How to make them
- Melt the butter and syrup together over a low heat
- Mix the flour, ginger and sugar together in a bowl
- Add the butter/syrup mix – stir slightly
- Add the beaten egg – stir gently
- Knead until smooth
- Leave for 15 minutes to cool
- Roll out on a lightly floured surface to approx. 1/2 cm thick
- Cut into the desired shapes and place on lightly greased baking tray
- GAS MARK 4 / 180 0c for 8 minutes until golden
- Allow to cool on the tray, then eat!
Tips
- Divide the ball of dough into smaller sections before you roll it out – this recipe makes a LOT of gingerbread!
