Easy recipe for gingerbread men please......

[Mellin]

Anyone got an easy recipe for making gingerbread men?

[rummages]

melt together
2oz butter
2oz soft brown sugar
2 level tablespoons golden syrup

stir in
6oz plain flour
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

mix with spoon then bring into ball with fingers
roll out thinly straight away
cut out
greased & lined baking tray
gas 4 12min
cool still on the paper.

if it's just the shape of the men that you're after, consider making them with sortbread mix...much yummier IMO and more LOs prefer them

I have a great recipe if you want it

oh, the easiest random biscuits for cutting out are:
1oz sugar
2oz butter
3oz flour
cream butter & sugar, stir in flour, knead, roll out, cut out, 10min gas 4.

you can ice them afterwards or add ginger, raisins, orange zest, choc chips etc to the mix to tart them up

Thanks MrsBadger, much appreciated.

Tassisss - thanks for the tip, will remember that for next time.
