It is nearly the end of the school holidays and we decided to have a home day today to give the kids the rest that school holidays are meant for. I took the cook book out and asked the kids to pick whatever they wanted to bake today. To my surprise, they chose Gingerbread Man. I didn't have some of the ingredients so I had to search the internet for other recipes and I still didn't have some ingredients so I had to modify the recipe a bit. It is so delicious that I have to share the recipe.
Gingerbread Man 100g butter8 tbsp honey100g brown sugar350g self-raising flour3 tsp ground gingerPreheat oven for 190C.Melt butter, honey and sugar together in a saucepan and cool slightly. Sift flour and ground ginger into the sugar mixture and mix well. Roll out the dough and cut out with cookie cutter. Place them onto lined baking tray.Bake for 15 to 20 mins or until golden brown.We used black and white sesame for its eyes and buttons instead of currants...but I think their nutty taste is better.
Oh yum. We've been making a lot of date cake these holidays, and the recipe is very gingery :)
