INGREDIENTS 350g / 12oz plain flour 175g / 6oz light soft brown sugar 100g / 4oz butter 1 medium egg 4 tablespoons of golden syrup 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1½ teaspoon of ground ginger

YOUR CHILD		THE ADULT
		You will need to measure out the ingredients or at least help your child to do so. The pastry will be easier to mix if the butter has been removed from the fridge half an hour before starting mixing.

YOUR CHILD - Put the flour, butter, ground ginger and bicarbonate of soda in a mixing bowl. Mix it all together with fingertips until crumbly. Add sugar, syrup and egg and mix until it forms a firm pastry mix.

You - Pre-heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4

YOUR CHILD - Using the rolling pin, roll out the pastry to about 5mm thick. Make sure the surface and the rolling pin are well dusted with flour. Cut out the shapes with a knife and/or pastry cutter

YOUR CHILD - Place the cut out pastry on a greased or non-stick baking tray, each 2cm apart to allow for them spreading out. YOU - put the baking trays in the pre-heated oven. Remove after 15 minutes (check after 10 minutes).

YOUR CHILD -Find a selection of anything you like to decorate the gingerbread men and house. We used cake icing with raisins, chocolate chips and edible silver balls.

 

YOUR CHILD - Put a blob of icing on the gingerbread men where you want a decoration to stick.

Gingerbread men are easy to make,
and they're tasty to eat, make no mistake!

It is brilliant and it is really easy to follow.

Made the mistake of using too much syrup because I thought it would taste nicer. They just spread so I made another batch, other then that lovely.

Going to try this recipe out with the children that I work with and c how they react and respond to the activity as some of the children don't get the choice to bake at home with an adult.

Made theses with my 2.25 yr old and it was really easy. She loved tickling the mixture together and squishing the egg. She also liked using the cutters to make shapes. We will be doing this again next week for santa claus!

	23 December 2011	From: Helen
Great recipe, only thing i found tho was the thicker you cut them the softer they are so will be cutting the next batch thinner to make them nice and crispy. I will also be adding more ginger as I like mine to taste rather strongly, great recipe tho thanks
