    How to Make Gingerbread in a Thermomix:

    Please note you will find the full recipe and method in the recipe card below.

    1. Place the golden syrup, butter, sugar, ginger and cinnamon into your Thermomix bowl and cook.

    2. Add the bicarbonate of soda and mix.

    3. Add the remaining ingredients and mix together.

    4. Carefully transfer the dough onto your bench, you will need to use a spatula to scrape the mixture out of the Thermomix bowl - this is completely normal. Use your hands to shape into a ball before popping into the fridge to chill.

    5. Roll out the dough and use your favourite biscuit cutter before placing onto baking trays.

    6. Roll out the dough and use your favourite biscuit cutter before placing onto baking trays. Place into your preheated oven to bake until slightly golden on the edges.

    Tips for Making Gingerbread in a Thermomix:

    1. If you use a traditional gingerbread cutter this recipe will make around 20 gingerbread biscuits.
    2. If you use a different shaped biscuit cutter the cooking time will vary.
    3. Your mixture will be very soft when removing from the Thermomix bowl, this is why it is important to chill the dough before rolling out and cutting.
    4. I find it easiest to roll the dough out on a Thermomat and place a piece of baking paper between the dough and my rolling pin to help keep the surface of the dough smooth.
    5. These biscuits are best stored in an airtight container and enjoyed within one week.
    6. You can freeze both the cooked biscuits and the dough for up to two months.

    FAQ

    Can I use this recipe to make a Gingerbread House?

    Yes you sure can! You will need to keep an eye on the Gingerbread and remove from the oven when the edges are golden.

    Can you freeze Gingerbread?

    Yes, both the dough and the cooked biscuits can be frozen for up to two months.

      Would one batch of this dough be enough to make a standard size gingerbread house?

      Can I use Mollasis instead of golden syrup? I don't have any on hand and I'm just doing a tester batch as I haven't made them in my thermi before.

      Great recipe! I've made these several times before in the past and they are always perfect. This time I scooped the dough into a clean plastic bag, flattened it to 5mm with my hand and placed it on the baking tray in the fridge. Brought out after 15 mins and carefully tore the plastic around 2 sides. Cut my shapes and at the end squeezed the scraps into a ball inside the now big sheet of plastic. Flattened again and cut more shapes. Used up all the dough and not a smidgen of dough on my fingers! Also no wastage of paper or cleaning of rolling pin! Brilliant!

        In case anyone is still after the quantities in grams, I used:

        125g butter
        85g syrup
        50g sugar
        290g flour

        If using maple syrup instead of golden syrup I'd probably up the flour to 300g.

      Great recipe - first time I had made gingerbread and it turned out perfectly! My son loved cutting out the gingerbread men, so we'll definitely be making this again. But could I ask why some of the measurements are in cups, rather than by weight? Measuring golden syrup into a cup would be rather sticky, and unnecessary given that it's made in the Thermomix! I used 90g golden syrup and 50g brown sugar, but I can't remember the weight of the flour.

      This was my first attempt at gingerbread and I have to say this was the perfect recipe! It was so easy to do, roll and cut out shapes. My Mr 5 loved the experience and they turned out beautifully brown and delicious - and the house smelled amazing! Thanks again, this is my go to gingerbread recipe!

      These are delicious. I made them dairy and egg free by using nuttalex and organ egg replacer. I also had no brown sugar so used coconut sugar. You would not know I made any of those substitutions as they worked out perfectly!! I have made specific 'vegan gingerbread' in other years to suit our allergies but they were disappointing. These were fantastic. Thank you!

      Hi,

      1, Could i use a Black Treacle (Brand: Lyle's Black Treacle) instead of the golden syrup?Will the taste be different?

      2. Which would be better to use: say prepacked Mc Cormick ground ginger and ground cinnamon or would the taste differ if I freshly pounded the ingredients.

      3. When I decorate the gingerbread with writing gel, would the drawings come out easily? The gingerbread will be a Christmas door gift and i will put in a transparent plastic.

      Thank you for your advice.

      New TM user and newbie at baking,

        Hi Melissa I haven't used treacle before but assume it' would be ok, the texture may be a little different though.
