ULTIMATE EASY GINGERBREAD
Make some gingerbread stars to hang from your Christmas tree. This biscuit dough is extremely forgiving if overworked, so it's perfect for baking with children

Steps:
- Heat the butter, syrup and sugar together in a small pan until melted, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix together the bicarb, ginger, cinnamon and flour in a large bowl. Pour in the buttery syrup mixture and stir to combine, then use your hands to bring together to form a dough. The dough will be soft at this point, but it'll firm up in the fridge.
- Put the dough on a sheet of baking parchment, shape into a rectangle, and lay another sheet of parchment on top of it. Roll the dough out to a thickness of ½cm. Transfer to a baking sheet to keep it flat, leaving the parchment in place, then chill in the fridge for 1 hr.
- Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a large baking sheet with more baking parchment. Remove the dough from the fridge and cut out shapes using a cookie cutter. We used 9cm stars, but you can choose any shape. We also made some with smaller stars cut out of the centre to thread ribbon through and hang from a Christmas tree.
- Place the shapes, spread apart, on the lined baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 mins. (Depending on the size of the cutters you use, they might need a few minutes more or less cooking in the oven). Leave to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with 1-2 tbsp water - you want to create a consistency that's thick and pipeable, and not too thin or it will run. Decorate the cooled biscuits with the icing using a piping bag with a thin nozzle. Find out how to make a piping bag.

Tips:
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger provides the best flavor for the syrup. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Peel the ginger: Peeling the ginger is essential to remove the tough outer skin. You can use a vegetable peeler or a spoon to peel the ginger.
- Slice the ginger thinly: Slicing the ginger thinly helps it release its flavor more easily.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan helps to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the syrup from burning.
- Simmer the syrup over low heat: Simmering the syrup over low heat helps to extract the flavor from the ginger without boiling it away.
- Strain the syrup: Straining the syrup removes any solids, such as ginger pieces, from the syrup.
- Store the syrup in a sealed container: Store the syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Gingerbread syrup is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes. It can be used to flavor drinks, desserts, and baked goods. It can also be used as a glaze for meats and vegetables. Gingerbread syrup is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. With these tips, you can make a delicious gingerbread syrup that will add a unique flavor to your favorite recipes.
