Melt butter in a saucepan with brown sugar and golden syrup until combined.

In a bowl, mix plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger, and cinnamon until fully combined.

Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until it forms a dough.

Finish mixing the dough with your hands until fully combined.

Divide the dough in half and place one half between two pieces of baking paper.

Roll out the dough to about 0.5 cm thick using a rolling pin.

Cut out shapes using a gingerbread house cutter set, ensuring to maximize the use of the dough.

Neaten the edges of the cut shapes with a knife if necessary.

Slide the cut shapes onto a baking tray, ensuring they are flat.

Roll out the second half of the dough and cut out the remaining shapes.

Bake the shapes in a 180°C oven for 10 to 12 minutes until just set.

Let the baked pieces cool on the tray for 5 to 10 minutes before removing.
