GINGERBREAD MAN
Ingredients
- 250g Flour
- 75g softened Kerrygold Pure Irish Salted Butter
- 75g Light Muscavado Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Bread Soda
- 50g Golden Syrup
- 1 Egg Yolk
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Using a mixer, beat the Kerrygold Butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Introduce the golden syrup and egg yolk to the butter and sugar mixture and blend well.
- Combine all dry ingredients (flour, bread soda and spices) and sift into the bowl and blend until the mixture starts to resemble breadcrumbs.
- With your hands, shape the dough in to a ball. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for approx. 30 minutes before using.
- On a lightly floured surface, thinly roll out dough and use gingerbread man cutters to cut out shapes. Place on an oven tray lined with a baking sheet leaving a space between each.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes until slightly risen and golden in colour. Transfer to a wire tray for cooling.
- Once completely cool, decorate as you please!
