Vintage Christmas Recipe Series - Gingerbread Men


Happy Holidays!

The Vintage Kitchen is taking a break over the holidays but I will be posting recipes for New Year so look out for that! 

In January I will resume posting kitchenalia items for sale - and I have some amazing, collectable items that would look fantastic in your kitchen! 

The festive recipe today comes from the classic 1929 recipe book 'Anyone Can Bake' :


Gingerbread Men

2 3/4 cups flour
3 tablespoons Royal Baking Powder
1/3 tsp salt
1 tsp ginger
2/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup melted shortening

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and ginger together. Mix molasses, sugar, egg and shortening together and add the dry ingredients to make soft dough. 
Shape in forms of little men, animals or plain cookies; bake on greased pan in moderate oven at 375 degrees F. ten to twelve minutes.
Makes eighteen small men about four inches high. 






Have a blessed Christmas,
With love from,
