Lammas 2026

The Saturday before last (1st August) it was Lammas. (Although some people may celebrate on 31st July or 2nd August.) I normally celebrate by baking, most often gingerbread. This year I made gingerbread and bread (a mix), like I have for the past couple of years.

The gingerbread recipe is one from BBC Good Food that I've used for the past few years: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/gingerbread_men_99096

I could only find the smaller gingerbread cutter, so I made some "men" shapes and a few round ones too. I made up my own icing (icing sugar mixed with water) which I do most often. I iced some completely. Here's a pic:

The decorating got a bit messy! lol.
