Hey there! So today I thought I would share with you lovely people a baking recipe, and as the were getting closer to winter I thought a gingerbread recipe would be a good thing to do. As I try to be gluten free most of the recipes I put up on my blog will be, but most of the time you can just swap the gluten free flour for normal flour, and take out the xanthan gum and it will be exactly the same.
Ingredients:
210g gluten free plain flour
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
170g light brown sugar
90g unsalted butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon honey
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Writing icing for decoration
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 175 degrees celsius. In a large bowl whisk together the plain flour, xanthan gum, ground cinnamon and ground ginger. Then add the brown sugar and whisk it enough so you have no lumps. Create a well in the centre of your bowl and add the butter, honey, egg and vanilla, and whisk it all together. You should end up with a really sticky and thick dough. Next make space on your work surface and dust some flour onto it then roll out the mixture to about 8-10mm thick. Then using your cookie cutter cut out your gingerbread men and put them onto a tray which has baking paper on it. Then put them into your freezer until they're firm, which is about 13-15 minutes. Then put them straight into the oven for 10 minutes. Once they're cooked leave them to cool for about 20 minutes and then put them onto a rack and ice them to add some decoration if you wish.
I hope you enjoyed making those cookies more then I did, and that they tasted delicious. In the past I haven't done any baking posts but I will do the odd one from now on, if these were a success among you guys.
