Nigella would be jealous...

What better way to get you in the Christmassy mood than to bake ginger bread santa's?! I loved it! However....for all those who are now inspired by our fab blogs to get their baking hats on...here are a few words of advice to make your experience that little bit easier...

1) Use loads of flour...Flour the surface, flour the rolling pin, flour the cutter, flour the floor, the cupboards, flour the whole house if you have to...you will thank me....

2) Keep the dough cool, stick it in the fridge for a few hours before rolling out...and the thinner, the better...they expand when they're in the oven, so don't put them too close to each other or you'll end up with one rather large gingerbread monster....

3) Keep nasty flatmates away from sabotaging the lovely little fellas, or phallic shaped objects may appear on your little santa's without you realising....

4) Don't under estimate the time it takes to make these....4 hours later and you could be wishing you had started a little earlier than 9pm...

5) Finally, enjoy, love and embrace the santa gingerness to help you get in the Christmas spirit....

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas!

P.s....sorry about the apron...slightly inappropriate...but it's all we had!?!
