Gingerbread men Makes 12 men preheat oven to 170oC/350oF
- 8oz Butter or marg (room temp or you'll get cramp in you arm like me)
- 3oz of sifted icing sugar (yes it's a first on me)
- 8oz Self raising flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of ginger (all important!)
- few drops of vanilla essence/extract (I added water instead)
- 3oz porridge oats (This is interesting as well)
- Thick glace icing (water and icing sugar)
- Beat fat then blend in icing sugar.
phew... that my workout done for the day! |
3. Mould dough into heads, bodies and arms for 12 gingerbread men. Join pieces together on greased baking sheets, allowing room for spreading during baking.
Hmm I not sure they quite look like men. |
Yep they resemble swollen jelly babies. (nice clean cooker in background fresh from the 70s) at least they are golden wish me luck withe transportation process onto the rack.
Oh dear not quite the look I was after but lets call them rustic gingerbread men. |
I like these gingerbread guys' "hearty, healthy" look! I bet they tasted great.
