Gingerbread Recipe

[Guest]

Getting in front with next half terms planning traditional tales and found most Gingerbread men recipes use a melting method.I've used this cold mix recipe for years and always found it reliable.Much safer with young children so I thought I'd add it to the resource bank.

I also use it for Snowmen to hang on the tree using a a large and small circle cutter which over lap-currents and cherries for the face as usual and that piped ready made icing tubes for scarves and dusted with icing sugar.

Thanks Biccy - I love the little gingerbread rhymes! Just right for our Christmas performance. Anyone know where I can buy five gingerbread men costumes??

Depends on how many the grown-ups 'test' before they get sent home!

I can't really say how many but its generous.The original recipe said 16 but I used to use this with 20 nursery children and 2 adults easily

Thank you. I will probably double the amount for 30 children and have leftovers for the adults!

Great recipe Biccy. My eleven year old made them on Monday (yesterday) and they turned out lovely.

Many thanks!
