Making gingerbread men is great fun for children - let them help roll out the dough, press out the shapes... then after baking they can have fun decorating!

can u use white sugar instead of brown sugar if put brown sugar in and don't have enough - can u use white sugar
Preheat oven to 180°C bake (160°C fan-forced). Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Place the Edmonds Standard Grade Flour, Chelsea Sugar, ginger and Edmonds Baking Soda in a bowl or food processor. Add butter and rub in with fingertips or pulse in food processor until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add egg and Chelsea Golden Syrup and stir or pulse to form a dough. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour until it forms a workable dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll out on a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick. Cut out shapes using biscuit cutters and place on trays. Form leftover dough into a ball and re-roll and repeat cutting out until dough is used up.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Icing Make icing by beating egg white with a fork until frothy. Fold in the other ingredients to form a pipeable icing. You can test for the correct consistency of icing by dragging a knife over the surface. If the surface smoothes over in approximately 10 seconds, the icing is at the right consistency. Mix in water in very small quantities, until this consistency is achieved.
Colour icing if desired. Place icing in resealable bags or piping bags. Snip off the corner and pipe decorations onto each biscuit. Use icing to attach lollies or currants, if using.
Easy to make and delicious my grandchildren love them
