Gingerbread Men

1)  Put the sugar, syrup, treacle, ginger, mixed spice/cinnamon and water in a saucepan.  Heat the mixture on a medium heat until it starts to boil.  Take the pan off the heat.

2)  Stir the bicarbonate of soda into the sugar mixture, and stir in the margarine until it melts.

3) Stir in the flour.  You should now have a very gloopy 'dough'.  Scoop it out of the pan and into a mixing bowl, and let it cool down and solidify for at least 30 minutes.

4) Roll out the dough on a floured board, with a floured rolling pin, until it is about 3 or 4mm thick.

4) Cut out gingerbread men with a cutter or knife.  I drew shapes onto the dough with a cocktail stick first.  

5) Carefully lift your gingerbread men with a spatula and lay them onto your greased baking tray. If you want to, decorate them with jelly tots or currants.  

6) Bake in the oven for 10 - 15  minutes at  180ºC/350ºF until they are cooked.  (15 minutes gives a crunchier texture.)  Lift them carefully off the tray and lay them onto a cooling rack until cool.
