Gluten Free Mini Gingerbread Men

Back to all recipes.
Naturally gluten free, buckwheat makes fab gingerbread, with it's slight bitterness, it pairs well with the ginger and golden syrup making a delicious tasting and crunchy biscuit. We've also made this dairy free and vegan and mini so you can get away with eating a few extra! You could even add some icing for a face and buttons.

Method

  1. Melt together soya spread, sugar and golden syrup, stirring the whole time.

  2. Allow to cool slightly.

  3. Meanwhile mix together all the other items in a bowl.

  4. Slowly stir in the melted mix, mix until you get a nice stiff ball that you can easily handle.

  5. Let the dough cool a bit, but not until cold.

  6. Roll out and use a small gingerbread man cutter (should get about 19 if you keep rerolling using all the dough up).

  7. Bake in oven on gas mark 6/200c for 10 mins.
