Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Line a couple of baking trays with greaseproof paper.
Sieve the flour, ginger and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl. Using your fingertips rub in the butter until you get a fine breadcrumb texture, then add the sugar and stir in.
Whisk the beaten egg and the golden syrup and add to the bowl. Mix to form a dough.
Lightly flour your work surface then roll out the dough to a thickness of 3-4mm, then using gingerbread family cutters, cut out the shapes, and lay each one out onto the baking trays.
Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
Once baked, leave to cool on a wire rack.
Next using royal icing in a piping bag or white writing icing pipe the names of your family onto the biscuits. You can use these as gifts or name tags on presents.
