Gingerbread men recipe

Ingredients


honey 125 g
brown sugar 75 g
butter 75 g
egg 1 egg
flour 300 g
leavening agent 2 tsp.
spice mix for gingerbread 2 tsp.
FOR DECORATION:
powdered sugar
lemon juice
food coloring
sugar pearls

Instructions


Step 1

Place the honey, sugar and butter in a saucepan and, stirring, cook over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Whisk the egg in a bowl, add the flour, baking powder and gingerbread spice. Add the honey mixture and knead into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the fridge for 2 hours.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (high/low heat) and line a baking tray with baking paper. Take the dough out of the fridge and roll out into a 1 cm thick layer on a floured surface. Cut out the human figures (10 cm) and place them a little distance apart on the baking tray.

Step 4

Bake in the oven (medium) for 12-15 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack. Mix together the icing made from powdered sugar and lemon juice and decorate the gingerbread figures to your liking.

If not all the cupcakes or cookies fit on the baking tray, bake in several batches.
