Method
step 1
Gently melt the butter, sugar and syrup in a saucepan, stirring until smooth. Leave to cool for 10 mins.
step 2
Put the flour, spices and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl. Add the syrup mixture and the milk, then gently knead in the bowl until smooth. Wrap and chill for 30 mins.
step 3
Heat the air fryer to 160C. Cut the dough into quarters and roll out one piece (return the rest to the fridge) between two sheets of baking parchment to a thickness of 3-4mm. Stamp out 4-6 gingerbread people, depending on the size of your cutters and air fryer.
step 4
Put a square of parchment in the air fryer basket and arrange the gingerbread people on top, leaving a little space between each one. Cook for 7-8 mins until dark golden. Leave to cool and firm up for a couple of mins before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat the process to use up the remaining dough. Decorate your gingerbread people with icing, if you like.
