Gingerbread Decorations Ingredients:
50g caster sugar
75g butter (softened at room temperature)
50g golden syrup
2 free range egg yolks
250g plain flour (sifted)
bicarbonate of soda
ground ginger and ground cinnamon
Wooden Spoon
Mixing Bowl
Greased Baking Trays
50g caster sugar
75g butter (softened at room temperature)
50g golden syrup
2 free range egg yolks
250g plain flour (sifted)
bicarbonate of soda
ground ginger and ground cinnamon
Wooden Spoon
Mixing Bowl
Greased Baking Trays
Method:
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4 (160C or 180C for fan assisted ovens). Cream the butter and caster sugar before adding the egg yolks, bicarbonate of soda and golden syrup. Add in the flour, ginger and cinnamon and thoroughly mix. Then take the mixture and divide into a couple of balls, kneading until a sufficient dough is created. The dough needs to be chilled in the fridge for around half an hour.
After this time, remove the dough and using a rolling pin, roll out each ball to just under 1cm in thickness. Then using your dough cutter, cut out all the shapes and using a chopstick, make a small hole in the top of each shape for the ribbon to go through ( Jangan besar tu lubang,… nanti buruk shape dia tu & you can do apa-apa ja shape yg ko suka!). Place each shape on the greased baking tray, re-rolling the dough trimmings as needed. Once you have enough gingerbread shapes, you will need to cook them in the oven for around 10 minutes, or until golden brown. The gingerbread can be placed out on the tree for a couple of days before being eaten, or left to go stale and used purely as decorations (Remember to check every day, tempat kita ni banyak semut ~tropical~… sekali tingu nanti hilang suda tu Gingerbread!) . If kept airtight, the gingerbread will last for around 1 week.
(These gingerbread Christmas decorations also make great little gifts for friends and family :p)
