How to make gingerbread men:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.
Step 2: Sift flour, ginger, cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda and mix together in a mixing bowl. Add the butter and rub the mixture together until it looks like breadcrumbs, then stir in the sugar.
Step 3: Lightly beat the egg and golden syrup together, add to the mixture and beat until the mixture clumps together. Tip the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, wrap in clingfilm and leave to chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Step 4: Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 0.5cm thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out the gingerbread men shapes using cutters and place on the baking tray.
Step 5: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden- brown. Leave on the tray to cool. When cooled, decorate with icing and cake decorations!
