Gingerbread People

Ingredients

2 Cups of Gluten-free flour sifted plus extra for dusting

1 Teaspoon of GP Baking Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Bicarbonate Soda

2 Teaspoon of Cinnamon

3-4 Teaspoon on Ginger Spice

1 Pinch of Salt

1 medium egg

130 g of Vegan Butter (I used Nuttelex)

1/4 Cup Golden Syrup

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

Icing

Egg white from one egg

1 cup of Icing Sugar (make sure it’s GF)

Food colouring (this is optional)

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius fan forced.

Beat the butter in a bowl with the brown sugar for 4-5 minutes or until light and creamy

Add the Golden Syrup and the Egg and combine (don’t worry if the mixture looks a bit separated here)

Sift all of the dry ingredients together in a small bowl and then slowly add this into the wet ingredients

Once the dough is all combined refrigerate for around 1-2 hours.

Remove the dough from fridge and knead on a floured surface.

Roll out the dough and cut out the gingerbread man.

Bake in the oven for around 12 minutes, give the biscuits a little longer if needed until they are nicely browned.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack

ICING

Beat the egg white until frothy

Gradually add in the icing sugar until the icing has firm peaks

Colour the icing your choice

Use a piping bag to decorate your gingerbread men however you would like
