My dad has a sweet tooth and he’s been going on at my mum for ages to make gingerbread men, of all things! So, as it’s his birthday today, I’m making a giant gingerberad man for him as a surprise.

I decided to try making a gluten-free version, so I can indulge my sweet tooth too!

I did a little bit of surfing for gluten-free gingerbread men recipes and ended up combining a few different methods to suit the ingredients I already had.

Giant Gingerbread Man (GF)

Ingredients

240g Gluten Free flour
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
50g sugar
50g butter
3Tbsp black treacle
A little milk to mix, the amount does vary, so be prepared to experiment

Put flour, soda, spices and sugar in a bowl and mix well.

Melt butter and black treacle together and pour over the dry ingredients.

Mix with your hands! Add milk if needed to get a good workable consistency

Roll out about 5mm thick and cut into desired shapes.

Bake 10 - 15 minutes at 190C until lightly browned.

Decorate with icing and sweets as desired.

I made one huge gingerbread man and used the remainding dough to make some little gingerbread cookies.

Happy Birthday Dad!!
