hi guys it's Christmas and today I'm
going to be making some gingerbread men
and I've got loads of helpers hopefully
helpful helpers I've got gizelle petal
and buds Queen Daisy so we try not to
embarrass them this morning you excited
for Christmas these gingerbread a little
bit different than on whether you Pro
Buy in the shop one you know exactly
what you're putting in them so there
won't be any numbers or anything evil in
there you can hang them on your
Christmas tree we could make them for
presents I actually use them as a treat
we're going to decorate them slightly
different with cranberries and raisins
and coconut it's great to have the kids
here actually it's all the little fiddly
bits the icing which they obviously love
to do cuz it's like art and it's quite
simple this should make about a dozen
gingerbread men depending on the size of
your cutters we've got kind of small men
and big men so we're going to start with
the wet ingredients first I put a sauce
pan on a medium heat because we don't
what we don't want to get anything to
burn too quickly 125 grams of butter 3
tablespoons of golden syrup I'm just
going to pour it in roughly pops we've
got 100 grams of sugar if you can pull
that in for me so you just want to heat
it until the sugar melts basically
you're right little ones are very quiet
it's very worrying right you're watching
you can do days trying to stir that for
me so it should just be smooth not
bubbling so now I'm going to do my dry
ingredients so we've got 300 grams of
plain flour half a teaspoon of cinnamon
watching a great half and up yeah half a
teaspoon of bicarbonate soda 2 teaspoons
of ginger which is the kind of the
ultimate ingredient okay so there's our
dry ingredients pretty simple actually
we've got the hot ingredients going to
the dry ingredients nearly done kids
nearly done I think I'm gonna make this
into my dough now
but I can't want to do it's quite kind
of sticky
it's like a wet dough anyway yeah it's
almost ready to go you ready kids didn't
take long did it
I'll move all these other ways like
might need a rolling pin we're actually
rolling I'll she's baking paper to
broaden the woods but it's gonna be
easier when we lift when we lift them up
and put them onto our trays so it
doesn't stick all right okay buddy some
well pedal send up a baby one
Happy's so think this use about half
centimeter just like a thickness of a
coin really yeah okay no he's fine oh
that one's not surface tonight now what
you do yeah access control again because
she's got bigger man it's one haven't
got an arm but I think that's good okay
so you don't have to obscure Edmund I
could use Christmas stars or Christmas
trees or anything they've got so many
different shapes in the shop so you
could they don't have to wait to
Christmas so you could do anything
that's pretty nice for this time he's a
great guys I love them well done she are
not that good girl Daisy that's cute
right buds done cool good epic hit that
brilliant I love them alright do one
more there's some individual I love that
so I can pop them in now I'm popping
green now oh okay yeah alright then how
old are we but one extra one I've done
the oven 280 for about 10 minutes so
people watch out because I take to burn
thing so I keep a good lookout I'll get
the children to look out for me
you look healthy bad okay so these have
been in about ten minutes that's kind of
the color they should be slightly warm
if you want to turn into Christmas
decorations now's the time to do it put
the hole through it's obviously when
they're done later that'll crack so
that's the Christmas decoration for
certain now but they are released
decorate guys you ready we're gonna go
through what we've got just once again
we've got desiccated coconut currants
walnuts cranberries and almonds I've got
some icing here and the best bit if
you've got pipes I've seen a bag okay so
you can use it like a glue so you can
get that did do a mint on top of your
blue craft you can put your stuff one
like that so you got eyes buttons now
you're broken on doesn't have to be
really neat that's the nose
season that's another name got names the
first ones done for Christmas this is
petals one petal that is brilliant if I
like to tell me I'm not they spoke with
you see honestly I'm just gonna use this
now and I'm gonna make for myself I'm
hiding behind here cuz my art is
terrible who's enjoying this who likes
this yeah they're all different all
unique
I can almost tell who's done whose I
think it's just really sweet specially
puts on the table if there's a party and
it's just quite nice to the Chum to eat
rather than rubbish she'll sweets
I reckon we're done kids
[Music]
like away from the icing sugar I think
you can see you've actually they've had
a great time which it's been really
worth it so you can do this it's really
good to do when they break up from
school it's going to count those hours
down much quicker to Christmas Eve which
is always the most exciting day on the
planet so yeah it's been really fun I've
really enjoyed that and I think clearly
what's going to happen is tonight I'm
going to do it again on my own something
really fun
