Gingerbread Man

  1. Dissolve ammonium bicarbonate in warm milk
  2. Melt sugar in honey in a metal bowl over a bain-marie (hot water)
  3. Add the milk mixture into the sugar and honey mixture
  4. Add flour and gingerbread spice into the mixture, mix well
  5. Add in the egg yolk and mix well
  6. Store the gingerbread dough at 5 degree celsius for at least 24 hours
  7. Roll out the dough to 5 mm thickness and cut with a cookie cutter
  8. Brush milk wash over the dough before putting into the oven
  9. Bake it at 200 degree celsius for 7 minutes or till golden brown
  10. Cool down the cookies, garnish it with royal icing and edible colouring

Tips

  1. Chill the Dough: After mixing the dough, chill it for at least 1-2 hours. This helps the flavors meld and makes the dough easier to roll out.
  2. Roll Out Evenly: Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure an even thickness.
  3. Use a Sharp Cookie Cutter: A well-defined cookie cutter will help create clean edges. Press down firmly and wiggle slightly to release the dough.
  4. Decorate with Care: Use royal icing for decoration as it hardens well, allowing for detailed designs.
