RECIPE 86
Crispy Ginger Men
GRANNY SAYS: A classic
pastry that looks too good to eat! When Cindy made these, her three-year-old Emily loved helping her to roll out the
dough and press it in the ginger-man mold.
| 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour |
1 tsp. ground ginger |
| 3/4 tsp. baking soda |
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon |
| 1/2 tsp. ground cloves |
1/2 cup unsalted butter |
| 1/2 cup sugar |
1 large egg |
| 1/2 cup unsulfured (light) molasses |
|
- Sift the dry ingredients into a medium bowl.
- With a mixer, beat butter until light, adding sugar, molasses, and
then egg.
- Stir in dry ingredients to form a soft dough and refrigerate about
4 hours.
- When dough is firm, cut the cookies into gingerbread-man shapes and
bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.
- Decorate and serve.
Granny adds: You'll wonder if you've misread the directions when
you start mashing the shortbread-cookie batter into its pan —
and then — can this be right? — you cut it up like pizza!
Yep, that's right, all right. These, like the ginger men in the
previous recipe, are extra fun to make with children!
