Sift together all of the dry ingredients. Heat butter, sugar and syrup until dissolved then leave to cool. Once cool mix in the dry ingredients and make a dough.
Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough onto a dry flat surface and cut into gingerbread people or shapes. Place on trays allowing space to spread.
