GINGERBREAD MEN GARLAND
Is net gewone gemmerbroodmanne wat ek so gaatjies ingedruk en opgestring het.
125 g unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup (90g) brown sugar
2/3 cup golden syrup
2 1/2 cups (375 g) plain flour, sifted
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Oven 160 ºCelsius
Beat butter and sugar in electric mixer and beat 8-10 minutes until it is pale and creamy.
Add golden syrup, flour, ginger and bicarbonate of soda and beat till mixture comes together to form a smooth dough.
Roll dough out between 2 sheets of non-stick baking paper to 4mm thick and refrigerate for 30 minutes
Using small gingerbread man cookie cutter, cut out men. Place on baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper.
Using the tip of a 6mm round nozzle, cut two holes from each man and bake 6-8 minutes or until golden.
Thread men onto length of ribbon and tie ends
