Hi everyone today I am going to be sharing another holiday
recipe, Mini Gingerbread men! These are so cute and very yummy. I made these
with my little cousin the other day and she loved doing it. These mini
gingerbread men would be perfect for a party or just a cosy winter night. I
will definitely be making these on Christmas Eve and wrap them up really nice
and hand them out to my family. Let’s get into the recipe <3
Makes: 12-16
Ingredients
3 cups/350g all purpose (plain) flour, plus extra for
dusting
1 tsp baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
1 tsp ground ginger
1 stick/115g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
¾ cup packed/175g light brown (demerara) sugar
4 tbsp corn (golden) syrup
1 egg, beaten
Currants and ribbon, to decorate
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 375 F/190 C/Gas mark 5. Lightly
grease three large baking sheets. Put the flour, baking soda and ginger into a
bowl, then rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
2. Stir in the sugar, then add the syrup and the egg to the
mixture. Mix to form a dough, kneading lightly with your hands.
3. Lightly flour your work surface and divide the dough in
half. Roll out one half to a thickness of ¼ inch/5mm. Using a mini gingerbread
man cutter, cut out the shapes and place them on the greased baking sheets.
Decorate them by using currants for the eyes and buttons. Repeat using the
other half of the dough.
4. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are a
dark golden colour. Leave the gingerbread men to cool slightly before transferring
onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Tie ribbon bows around the gingerbread
men to decorate.
*if you store in an airtight container, they keep for up to
a week*
Hope you liked this post, I loved making and eating them!
