How to Make Gingerbread Blokes
- Preheat oven to 160°C (Gas Mark 3/325°F).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 400g plain flour, 5g salt, and 15g ground ginger.
- In a separate saucepan, gently warm 200g dark brown sugar, 100g unsalted butter, and 50ml golden syrup until melted and combined. Pour the warm mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a crumbly dough forms.
- Gradually add 100-150ml milk, mixing until a firm, workable dough is formed. Lightly knead the dough with your hands for 1-2 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 5mm thickness. Use a gingerbread man cutter to cut out shapes.
- Place the gingerbread men onto a greased baking tray.
- Decorate: Gently press currants into the dough for eyes and buttons.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the gingerbread men are firm to the touch.
