Gingerbread Men

So, I did some baking today. Anyone who knows me well knows I do love to bake and I guess I am pretty good. I've been meaning to make gingerbread for a while now, and I finally got round to it. They didn't turn out exactly how I thought they would, but I liked them. Here's what I did-

1. I sifted all the dry ingredients which were, plain flour, brown sugar cinnamon, ginger salt, and bicarb. 

 2. I then heated up the golden syrup and butter.

 3. Then I made it into a dough, and left it to cool in the fridge for 30mins. Whilst it cooled I got my decoration stuff out.

 4. I then cut them into various shapes and left them to bake in the oven for 8mins on full power.

 5. Then, my favourite part, I decorated them.
Okay, so they don't look ultra amazing and professional, but they're cute right? Since they're 'ginger' bread men, I named these two Ed and Shriya. (You know, after my love, Ed Sheeran<3...)

 And here's some of the others I made!

They turned out slightly too gingery for my liking, but the texture and overall taste of them was good. If I were to make them again I'd use a lot less ginger and a little more sugar.
