Comment préparer Gingerbread Men
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) / Gas Mark 4.
- Prepare two baking sheets by lightly greasing them.
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup golden syrup, ¼ cup treacle, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest, and 1 tablespoon of water.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda).
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a smooth, manageable dough forms. Add a little extra flour if needed to prevent stickiness.
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a cool place for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ⅛ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out gingerbread men shapes.
- Arrange the cut-out gingerbread men on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each one.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes in the middle of the oven, or until the biscuits feel firm to the touch.
- Let the gingerbread men cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, store your gingerbread men in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
