I always wanted to try my hands on baking.  I came across this program in TLC named Rachel Allen’s Bake and she made this beautiful ginger bread house with sweets.  I liked it and wanted to bake some for my little one.  It really came out good with a subtle flavour of ginger powder and cinnamon.  Though I wanted to decorate my cookies with icing, couldn’t do so for lack of time and energy.

INGREDIENTS
 
Plain Flour 360 grams
Butter 150 grams
Golden Syrup 100 grams
Caster Sugar 60 grams
Brown Sugar 60 grams
Soda Bi Carbonate 1 tsp
Ground Ginger (Sonth) 1 1/2 tsp
Cinnamon Powder 1/2 tsp
 
 
METHOD
 
  • Pre-heat the owen to 180 degree Celsius. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter, caster sugar, brown sugar and golden syrup in a large sauce pan.  Sift the flour, soda bi carbonate, ginger and cinnamon together, add the melted butter and sugar mixture and stir well until it comes together like sticky dough.
  • On a floured surface flatten the dough into a 2 cm thick round, wrap in cling film and place in fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Roll the dough on a floured surface to 5 mm thick.  Cut out shapes using cookie cutter and bake at 180 degree Celsius for about 12 minutes. 
  • Remove from oven and transfer it to a wire rack for cooling.  Store it in a air tight container.
