Ginger Biscuits

I finally have golden syrup here in Berlin and so this brings me to my next recipe – ginger biscuits! These have been a favourite of mine since I was small and are easy to make.

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

350g self raising flour

1 tbsp ground ginger

1 tsp baking powder

150g caster sugar

100g unsalted butter

85g golden syrup

1 medium free range egg

• Preheat the oven to gas mark 3 / 170 degrees celsius
• Add the flour, baking powder and ginger to a large mixing bowl.
• Melt the butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan.
• Pour the syrup mixture into the mixing bowl with the flour. Then add the egg and mix with a spoon.
• Combine the mixture and then roll into small balls (2 tablespoons) and place on a baking sheet. I find that you can fit about 6 bicuits on each tray. You may need to do these in batches.
• Put in the oven for 15-20 mins.
