GINGERBREAD MEN



Today in preparation for our mad hatters tea party at the end of term we have started our baking. All groups made gingerbread dough using the following recipe;

GINGERBREAD DOUGH
Melt 125gms butter
250gms brown sugar
3 tablespoons golden syrup in a saucepan.

Add 1teaspoon bi carb soda and 1 egg slightly beaten.

Pour into 375gms plain flour, 2 teaspoons ginger and 1 teaspoon mixed spice.
Mix into a soft dough, and roll out to about 5mm thickness. If too soft, chilling helps.
Bake at 160 -180 degrees for 10 -15mins or until golden. They do puff up!

The kids decorated them with icing and lollies. They looked great ! Well done kids!
