Step 1

Preheat the oven to 160° C CircoTherm®. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a bowl whisk the butter, sugar and syrup until creamy and smooth. Now add the egg and whisk a bit more. To this add the flour, baking powder, soda and ginger and mix with a wooden spoon or your hands.

Step 2

Bring the dough together and knead it for a few seconds. Now wrap it and let it rest in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.

Step 3

Roll it out on a floured surface and cut out the gingerbread men using your choice of cutter. Place them on the prepared baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes until slightly coloured. Leave them aside to cool then decorate with icing, sprinkle, chocolate or any other decoration of your choice.
