Ingredients
125g butter
1/2 cup (100g) firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg yolk
2 1/2 cups (375g) of plain flour
1 tsp baking soda
3 tsp ground ginger
1/2 cup (125ml) golden syrup
Preparation
Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius.
Beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the egg and beat until combined.
Sift dry ingredients and stir into butter mixture with the golden syrup. Mix to a dough and knead gently on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
Roll out dough between two sheets of baking paper until about 3mm thick. Cut gingerbread men or circular cookies from dough and place on baking paper on baking tray. Re-roll dough as many times as necessary.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool on trays.
