Great fun to make and eat, everyone loves a gingerbread man! If you can get hold of a person shaped pastry cutter they’ll look great, but at the end of the day we are after taste and effect, so don’t worry if you can’t.
Ingredients
- 12oz plain flour
- 6oz soft brown sugar
- 4oz cannabutter (softened)
- 1 medium egg
- 4 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground ginger
Method
Preheat your oven to 180C.
Put the flour, cannabutter, ginger and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl and mix together usinf your hands until it goes crumbly. Add the sugar, syrup and egg and mix together until it forms a firm pastry mix.
Dust your worksurface with flour, then roll out the pastry to be about 5mm thick. Now comes the fun and creative part! If you have a pastry cutter that you wish to use cut your shapes out and place them onto a non stick baking tray. If you don’t have a cutter you can use a knife to create any shapes you want – the only limit is your imagination!
Once the shapes have been placed on the baking tray, place this in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Take them out, let them cool, decorate them with icing or anything you want and enjoy! These are especially nice with a warm glass of mulled wine, which I’m sure you will appreciate as the nights start to close in!
