Gingerbread Men

Hi   everyone.

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.
