Too Good to go Unnoticed

I know that this season was a while ago, however I am far too proud to have it go unnoticed. As I am a student, I am very poor and I made these as Christmas presents. I Googled the recipe to make reindeer biscuits and was shocked to find that by using a gingerbread man cutter and turning the shapes upside down it would create a reindeer. Fantastic. 

Gingerbread men are extremely easy to make:

·        350g plain flour

·        1tsp bicarbonate of soda

·        2tsp ground ginger

·        1tsp ground cinnamon ( I always add in a little extra)

·        125g butter

·        175g light soft brown sugar

·        1 free-range egg

·        4 tbsp golden syrup

Recipes are to be found on Google of course. On Google these ingredients make 20, however for me I ended up making 28, so you can get a lot more out of dough than the internet says.

Using Sainsbury’s writing icing made the process a whole lot simpler than making my own. Okay, maybe it didn't create the best taste but I had a good amount of ginger and cinnamon to hide it.

Overall I think they were a definite, cheap success for Christmas presents.
