  Just made them today with a 10yr old. We added double ginger because of previous comments and they were fairly tasty. The best bit was decorating them afterwards!!!!! Will definitely make again.

  This recepie is great. Really easy to do and taste lovely. I made a batch as gingerbread men instead of trees and my 3 children ate them all in 2 day's. Definitely a success!!!

  After reading the previous comments I upped the amount of spice and they tasted good although they were a bit dry and powdery... I made koalas and kangaroos and they were perfect!

  thought this was going to be great after reading reviews - however my dough crumbled despite following the reciepe and the finished result - not that flavoursome. will try one that uses treacle the next time.

  My 3 year old son and i just made these lovely biscuits! I read throught the reviews first and changed the recipe a little and they turned out lovely, sweet and tasty with just the right amount of spiceyness! in addition to the ginger and cinnamon (which i increased) i also added a big half a teaspoon of mixed spice and half a tsp of nutmeg. i put in a little more golden syrup to sweeten them up and replaced 40g of the flour with light brown muscavado sugar. i will definitely be making these again and very soon as we have eaten most of them already as they were so delicious warm and my house smells gorgeous now!!

  I agree with other posts a little bland even though doubled the ginger and used part dark sugar. More like a cake than traditional gingerbread. Having said that - really quick and simple to make so not too disappointed.

  Lovely recipe, made these for a camping trip. Didn't bother with gingerman shapes, just fluted round biscuits and topped with crystalised ginger before popping in the oven. Sprinkling of caster sugar once out of the oven and they are good to go.

  I highly doubt i will ever use this recipe again unless i just want crumbles!! It just wouldnt bind to make the balls. Even after adding an extra load of butter, still very crumblery. Managed to get 4 stars out of the mixture by pushing it with my hands. Also after reading the comments i added dark muscavardo sugar and doubled the quantity of ginger and cinnamon as well as adding 1tsp of mixed spice! it had the right colour smell and taste just TOO crumberly!!

  These gingerbread biscuits are great! I add a bit more cinnamon and ginger to really make them taste good and they always go down well.

  Best gingerbread recipe ever! Although I do add 2 - 3 tsp of ginger 'cause I like my gingerbread gingery. I've been using this recipe for ages to make all sorts of gingerbread biscuits and it's never failed.
