How to make Christmas gingerbread men

Step 1

Have all materials ready.

Step 2

Heat the butter in the microwave for 50 seconds to soften it. Sift in the brown sugar in three batches. Brown sugar generally has relatively large particles, so it is better to roll it with a rolling pin in advance. I was lazy today and didn't roll it out in advance. I left some particles in it so it wouldn't affect the taste.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar in three batches and beat the butter with a whisk until fluffy.

Step 4

Add honey and stir.

Step 5

Beat the eggs, add to the butter in two batches, and stir evenly.

Step 6

Butter after adding honey and eggs.

Step 7

Sift in baking powder, ginger powder and cake flour. After the flour is sieved, the cake body becomes finer and smoother.

Step 8

Use a spatula to stir in the flour and butter.

Step 9

Pour the mixed butter and flour onto the dough mat and knead it into a uniform dough with your hands.

Step 10

Place a piece of baking paper underneath and flatten the dough with your hands.

Step 11

Cover the top with a layer of baking paper and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 0.3-0.4 cm thick cake.

Step 12

Place the dough on a baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Step 13

After taking it out, quickly use the mold to cut out the gingerbread man and gingerbread house, and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

Step 14

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees for 5 minutes in advance. It depends on the temperament of the individual oven. I set the first oven to 180 degrees and it was a bit mushy. Put the baking sheet with the dough in the oven and bake at 170 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

Step 15

Ding ding, it’s time, the cute and delicious gingerbread man can come out to say hello!
