Ingredients for 6 gingerbread men:

  • 85 g of honey
  • 85 g of flour
  • 35 g of powdered sugar
  • ⅓ sachet of baking powder
  • ⅓ sachet of vanilla sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of gingerbread spice mix
  • 5 cl of milk
  • 1 egg

Steps

  • Heat the honey in a saucepan or microwave.
  • Mix the flour with the baking powder, both sugars, and the spices.
  • Add the hot honey (ideally stirring with a wooden spoon).
  • Gradually incorporate the egg, then a little warm milk to bind everything together.
  • Preheat the oven to 160°C (thermostat 5-6).
  • Pour the mixture into the silicone molds, distributing the batter evenly in each.
  • Bake for about 1 hour, checking the cooking with the tip of a knife.

NB: the spices continue to infuse after baking: wait up to 24 hours for optimal tasting.

These pretty little gingerbread men can be stored in an airtight container for about 1 week!
