Ingredients

For the gingerbread:
  • 500 g flour
  • 150 g brown sugar
  • syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 125 g butter
  • 5 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp ground ground cardamom powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp pepper
For the topping:

Preparation

1. In a large bowl beat the butter until smooth, add the brown sugar and syrup, mix on a medium-high speed until creamy.

2. Beat in the egg for 2 mins.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cardamom and cinnamon. Slowly combine with the wet ingredients. Your gingerbread dough should be slightly sticky.

4. Roll your dough into a ball and place it in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours.

5. Take your dough out of the fridge and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll your dough out ¼ inch thick.

6. Using a round cutter, cut out your gingerbread pieces and place them on a tray.

7. Place in the oven at 180°C for 10-12 minutes until golden. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.

8. Once completely cooled, add a small piece of blue cheese, mandarin slice and a couple of rosemary leaves. Drizzle your honey on top and enjoy!
