Gingerbread Men Biscuits Recipe

Follow this simple 4-step gingerbread biscuits recipe to create the softest, chewiest, and most delicious gingerbread folk you’ve ever tasted!

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas 5.

Step 2

Sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger. Add the butter and rub in to make fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the Tate & Lyle Light Soft Brown Cane Sugar.

Step 3

Beat together the Lyle’s Golden Syrup, the egg and milk. Stir into the dry ingredients and mix to a dough. Turn out onto floured surface and knead until smooth.

Roll out and use a gingerbread cutter to cut out 12 gingerbread men and transfer onto 2 baking trays. Decorate the biscuits with the dried fruit to make the faces and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Once cooled, decorate with glacé icing and hundreds and thousands.
