Instructions
  1. Put the butter, sugar, ginger, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and cloves in a medium bowl. Using electric beaters beat until well combined, occasionally scrapping down the sides of bowl. Add treacle, egg white. Beat until well combined. Add the flour in 2 batches, mixing well after each addition.
  2. Preheat oven to 170c ( fan-forced). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough until 5 mm thick. Using a 7.5 cm gingerbread-man cutter of choice, cut out 25 shapes, re-rolling scraps, as necessary. Arrange about 2.5 cm apart on the trays.
  3. Bake for 5 minutes or until firm. Set aside on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  4. Decorate with icing and lollies, if desired.
