I like to think that one of the toddler’s first words was gingerbread but he’s actually only learned it recently. It’s a firm family favourite and when I presented the toddler with a plate of dinosaur gingerbread biscuits earlier he immediately exclaimed “Gingerbread!”
I thought I would share my recipe for never-fail gingerbread.
Makes 20 biscuits
Takes 30 minutes (20 mins to prepare and 10 mins to bake)
Ingredients:
- 350g plain flour
- 1tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 100g butter
- 175g light muscovado sugar
- 4tbsp golden syrup
- 1 large egg
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180° and line or grease two baking trays.
Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger in a bowl, then rub in the butter using your fingertips. Add the sugar, golden syrup and eggs and mix until you have a dough.
Roll out the dough to about 5mm thick and cut out your desired shapes.
Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until they are golden.
They look so good. Have you saved one for nanny?………please…….?
This sounds so easy I think even I should give it a go! x
