Who doesn't love baking especially during the holiday seasons and what's best than gingerbread. My kids LOVE baking and decorating gingerbread house and the little gingerbreads; and we just love seeing them having fun.
Here is one of the best recipes I made, try it with your kids and don't forget to tag us.
Ingredients:
🎄 150g butter
🎄 175g brown sugar
🎄 2/3 cup of golden syrup
🎄 1 egg
🎄 1 teaspoon of vanilla
🎄 1 teaspoon baking powder
🎄 1 teaspoon baking soda
🎄 1 tablespoon ginger
🎄 1 table spoon cinnamon
🎄 1 teaspoon all spices
🎄 3 cups of flour
Instructions:
🎄 Mix the butter then add the sugar
🎄 Add golden syrup, egg, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and all spices. Mix all together
All spices are mixed spices which you could find at any grocery store or you can make them yourself.
🎄 Add the flour one cup at a time & mix
🎄 Make the dough into a ball and place it in a cling film. You can use it immediately or refrigerate it for 4 hours or over night. I prefer to refrigerate it.
🎄 If you did refrigerate it take it out 15 minutes before using it. Roll the dough and start making shapes.
🎄 Bake at 170 degree for 8 minutes. Leave it to cool before you decorate.
