Recipe ingredients

100g butter (4ozs)
half cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg yolk
2 and half cups plain white flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp ground ginger
3 tbsp Honey
currants for eyes

Cooking Steps

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk well, then slowly add the dry ingredients which have been sifted together.
Soften the honey either by microwaving for 30 seconds on High (100% power) or in a small saucepan using low heat. Add to the other ingredients, mix well then knead lightly. Divide dough into two.
Roll dough out between two sheets of greaseproof paper and using a special gingerbread man cutter, cut out biscuits. Push two currants into the head to represent eyes. Lift onto lightly greased oven trays and bake in a moderate oven (180 C - 350 F) for 10-12 minutes.
