A lovely easy biscuit recipe from a friend that you can decorate to make reindeer! This was a wonderful tip I saw doing the rounds on Social Media a few years ago.
This recipe is so easy, it's a blend of various recipes so things like xanthum gum may need tweaking and the amount of flour may need to be increased. This will make about 30 gingerbread men/reindeer.
• 140g butter or margarine
• 100g dark muscovado sugar
• 3 tbsp golden syrup
• 350g plain flour
• 1 tsp gluten free bicarbonate of soda
• 3 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp ground cloves
Method
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Melt butter, sugar and syrup in a pan. Mix flour, soda and spices in a bowl. Stir in the butter mix to make a stiff-ish dough, it will firm up once cooled.
Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for at least thirty minutes.
Remove the dough from the fridge and once it's at room temperature roll it out to about 5mm thick. Cut out gingerbread men, re-rolling and pressing the trimmings back together and rolling again. Lift onto baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 mins until golden.
Cool 10 mins on the sheets, then lift onto cooling racks.
Decorate upside down as reindeer!
Tip: Remember that these will spread a little in the oven so keep a bit of a space between them.
These keep for about a week in an airtight tin, dough should freeze if made in quantity.
