Gingerbread Ninjas

Description

Some gingerbread ninjas (or "Ninjabread men") I made. This one's also quite old but I've been too busy with school and whatnot to go out taking lots of photos. And I'm lazy.
Recipe is below if you're interested.


***


Ingredients: 125g margarine, 2 tablespoons golden syrup, 185g sugar, 1 egg, beaten, 315g sifted self-raising flower, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1½ tablespoons water, 100g icing sugar, ¾ teaspoon black food colouring, greased baking paper.
Preheat oven to 180°

1) Melt butter and syrup together
2) add sugar, egg, flour, salt and ginger
3) Mix well until thick, roll out. Flour can help with rolling.
4) Cut out with man-shaped cookie cutter. Dipping cutter in flour can help to avoid sticking.
5) Put on baking paper and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown, leave to cool.
6) Add 1 tablespoon of water to icing sugar and mix. Slowly add more water to reach an easily spreadable consistency. Add food colouring until icing is a suitable colour.
7) Use a butter knife or teaspoon to carefully spread icing on just the bodies of gingerbread men. Now's the tricky part... Use fine tools (skewers, handle of spoon, etc) to shape the rest of the icing around legs and arms, then carefully mould around the head (seen in picture) leaving plenty of room for the eyes, be patient. Cut a small corner off a ziplock bag and put a little icing in, then carefully squeeze two dots for eyes.
8) Leave to dry for a few minutes and enjoy :)
