So we created the easiest and quickest gingerbread man recipe you have ever tried – using a food processor!

Add flour, bicarbonate soda, ginger and butter to food processor
Pulse a few times to combine

Pulse again
Whisk egg and golden syrup together in Checkered Chef Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl
Pour into the food processor
Mix until dough has formed
Tip onto floured surface and roll with Checkered Chef Stainless Steel Rolling Pin

Transfer to Checkered Chef Cooling Rack to cool
Decorate as desired!
