1. Melt together soya spread, sugar and golden syrup, stirring the whole time.

2. Allow to cool slightly.

3. Meanwhile mix together all the other items in a bowl.

4. Slowly stir in the melted mix, mix until you get a nice stiff ball that you can easily handle.

5. Let the dough cool a bit, but not until cold.

6. Roll out and use a small gingerbread man cutter (should get about 19 if you keep rerolling using all the dough up).

7. Bake in oven on gas mark 6 for 10 mins.
