Instructions to make 🍪Gingerbread Men🍪:

1. Beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. - Beat in the egg and Golden Syrup until the mixture is smooth. - - Sift in the remainder of the ingredients and beat/mix to form a smooth dough.
2. Wrap the dough in plastic or place in a plastic bag. Let the dough chill in the ‘fridge for about an hour to firm up. - On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼” (6mm) thick. - - Use a gingerbread man cutter to cut out the shapes. - Place a piece of baking paper on a baking tray and arrange the shapes ready for baking. Leave at least ½” (1cm) between the shapes.
3. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. - Place on a wire rack to cool before decorating. - Prepare the frosting: Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and gradually mix in the milk until you achieve a firm paste. - Use a piping bag or syringe to decorate the shapes.
4. #Tips: - - The initial dough should be quite firm – if it is too soft it will spread while cooking. If you find your dough is very soft simply sift in a tbsp or two of extra flour until you achieve the desired consistency. - - While gingerbread men are traditional, you can make other shapes too depending upon what cookie-cutter shapes you have.
5. If you want to use different colours in decorating the shapes, simply take a portion of the frosting and mix in a drop or two of food colouring. You can also decorate with Smarties for buttons.
