just to say this recipe works pretty well-though you may want to add a bit more ginger as i did.....couldn't find any gingerbread man cutters at tesco so ended up with winnie-the-pooh,piglet,tigger and eeyore shaped biscuits-lol

Think I will have a go making them. I'll probably add a bit more cinnamon, as I usually double the amount it says in a recipe. I love it. Think I'll get the cutters you got Sparky, sound nicer than gingerbread men.

MMMMM I love ginger biscuits! Great for morning sickness :lol:

Will try your recipe Sparky. Oh and thanks for Nisbetts' details. Have ordered a brochure and like their prices.

the winnie the pooh ones come out okay as do piglet but the eeyore and tigger ones don't look much like them when they're cut-but its a nice idea.....

I've found that too with some cutters-have one of a cow, which always looks more like a sheep.
