  • 120 g butter

  • 1 handful of currants

Instructions

Sift dry ingredients,rub the butter into the flour. Stir in the sugar. Beat the egg and syrup and stir into the bowl.


Mix to form a dough and knead until smooth

Divide into 2 pieces and roll out to about 5mm thickness. Use a gingerbread cutter to cut out the figures and place onto greased baking sheets. Decorate with currants.

Bake at 190 (375) for 12-15 minutes, until golden. Cool slightly and then place onto a wire rack to cool and crispen.

Decorate to your hearts content...
