Ingredients

350 g plain flour
2 tsps ground ginger
1 tsps cinnamon
1 tsps mixed spice
1 tsps salt
1 tsps bicarbonate of soda
1 tsps baking powder
175 grams butter
150 g light brown sugar
4 tbsp golden syrup

For decorating

3 Curly Wurly chocolate bars
10 Glace cherries
20 M&Ms

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180 C / 350 F / 160C Fan.
Measure the flour, spices, salt, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder into a bowl.
Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix together . Lightly knead together to make a dough.
Form into 10 balls of dough. Pinch one end of the ball to form a point, then flatten out with your hand. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly golden but still slightly soft.
Make 2 holes for the ears using a small skewer and leave to cool for a few minutes. Decorate with lengths of Curly Wurly for the ears, glace cherries for the nose and M&Ms for the eyes with a dot of black Writing Icing.
