Tara's Tasty Treats

Gingerbread

let's make gingerbread.

Ingredients

  • 250 g butter, salted
  • 90 g icing sugar
  • 300 g plain flour
  • 1 tbsp ginger
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp mixed spice
  • 1 tbsp treacle

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 160°C (fan 150°C) and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, cream the butter, icing sugar and treacle together until soft and smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the flour and spices and gently mix until it comes together into a soft dough.

  4. 4

    Roll into a 1cm thick sheet, chill for 20 minutes, then cut into your favourite fun festive shapes 🎄✨

  5. 5

    Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and let them cool. As they cool they will harden so don't worry if they are still soft when you take them out of the oven!
