Directions
First, mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl - i.e. flour, baking powder, gingerbread spices and salt.
Place the butter and sugar in another bowl and beat until smooth. Then stir in the honey and add the egg.
Then slowly add the dry mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir until a stiff dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out to a thickness of approximately 5mm. This is very important, a greater thickness would not make the gingerbread brittle enough.
Then just cut out different shapes with the moulds and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake the gingerbread in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 10-12 minutes.
After baking, let the gingerbread cookies cool on a wire rack.
