Ingredients
- 4 oz. margarine, plus extra for greasing
- 4 oz. caster sugar
- 4 oz. golden syrup
- 8 oz. self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 2 tsp. ground ginger
Method
- Heat the oven to 375°F and grease a baking tray for the ginger biscuits.
- Melt the margarine, caster sugar and golden syrup gently in a pan over medium heat, then take the pan off the heat and let the syrup mixture cool slightly.
- Stir the self-raising flour and ground ginger into the pan to form a dough.
- Roll the dough with floured hands into balls about the size of a large coin, spacing them well apart on the greased tray so they have room to spread.
- Mark the top of each dough ball with the tines of a fork.
- Bake the biscuits for about 10 minutes until they spread and turn golden brown, making roughly 30 biscuits from the batch.
- Cool the ginger biscuits briefly on the tray, then move them to a wire rack to crisp up completely.
