Sorry that I have not been blogging. There was something wrong with the computer.
The other day me and my mum made some ginger cookies; we where planning to make ginger bread men but we did not know where the ginger bread man cutter was.
These are the ingredients you need
350g plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 teaspoons of ground ginger
100g of margarine
175g light muscovado sugar - we only had white
4 tablespoons golden syrup
1 egg - beaten
pre heat oven to 190c
Lightly grease 3 baking trays. Measure the flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger into a bowl. Rub the margarine until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, then stir in the sugar, add the syrup and beaten egg to the flour mixture and mix to form a smooth dough, kneading lightly with your hands. Then divide the dough in half and roll out half on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out gingerbread men using a cutter and place them on to the prepared baking trays. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until a slightly darker shade. Cool slightly then lift on to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
