    Hey boardies,

    Has anyone got a good recipe for gingerbread dough, to use in gingerbread men, and a gingerbread house?

    I have tried three failed attempts at gingerbread, First attempt all the cookies joined together in the oven. (I did cool the cut out cookies first in the fridge)
    Second, they were too dry, I thought this was because they were so thin, so the third attempt was the best looking, quite thick, and kept shape, but waaayy too dry.

    I have used three different recipes.
    Any tried and tested ones?
    xx Emma

    Hi Emzolita, I reckon there's no beating the bbc Good Food recipe, check out this thread.

    This was my last year's house made from it...great stuff!;)

    You say it's too dry...is there a chance you're overcooking it?

    Cut up the pubes of a red headed man, throw them into dough.

    was over at my sister's house last week and she was having one of her baking days, she had made 5/6 loafs of gingerbread i had a slice and it was gorgeous. it was really dark and sticky just like that jamacian gingerbread you would buy in the shops, but alot nicer.

    must get the recipe off her and stick it up here.:)
