Ingredients:
- 140g softened butter
- 110g golden caster sugar
- 4 tbsp golden syrup
- 350g plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground coves
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6.
Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan and mix until smooth. After it has cooled, add in the dry ingredients and form into a dough. Roll out the dough and cut out gingerbread men shapes. If you turn it upside down it looks like a reindeer! Place them on a lined baking tray, and bake for 12-15 minutes.
When out, leave to cool for 20 minutes before decorating.
To decorate, use an icing pen to draw antlers and eyes. Use red dyed royal icing for the nose. Make sure you let all the icing dry.
I hope this gets you into the Christmas spirit! ENJOY!
