Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/ Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets with a little Trex.

Step 2
Beat the Trex, butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Do this by hand with a wooden spoon, or use a hand-held electric mixer. Stir in the golden syrup and beaten egg, beating well until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3
Sift in the flour, ginger and baking powder, then stir them into the mixture to give a smooth dough.

Step 4
Dust a work surface with a little flour, then roll out the dough thinly to a thickness of about 3mm (1/8th in). Use a gingerbread man cutter to cut out the biscuits, re-rolling the dough as necessary. Place about 4 men on each baking tray, allowing room for them to spread a little.

Step 5
Press currants into the biscuits to form eyes and noses. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Cool for a few moments on the tray, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Bake the remaining biscuits as before.

Step 6
When cool, pipe a little icing onto each gingerbread man for the mouths and buttons then place the sweets on top.
