I found a recipe for gingerbread as Christmas is fast approaching. Since I can remember I've always eaten gingerbread this time of year. About 6 years ago, I attempted to make a gingerbread house at school. I must say that was a huge fail. The day was hot, so my icing didn't really set, and my house collapsed. As well as little men, birds, and stars, I made the pieces I need to attempt another house. If my house is a success this time, I will post a picture of it. Fingers crossed it works this time.
This recipe has just a nice taste of ginger, it's not too strong.
- 200g butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup plain flour
- 3 1/2 cups self raising flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup golden syrup
1. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy.
2. Beat in the flours, cinnamon, and ginger.
3. In a jug, mix the eggs and golden syrup. While your electric mixer is still running, slowly pour this mixture into the butter mixture.
4. Knead your dough and divide it into 4 pieces. Glad wrap each piece and refrigerate for 1 hour.
5. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celcius. Roll dough out to be 5 mm thick and cut desired shapes. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
