Ingredients:
10 oz of plain flour
7 oz of sugar, ½ soft brown
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
2 teaspoons of ground ginger
1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
6 oz of butter/margarine
1 tablespoon of golden syrup/clear honey
2 tablespoons of milk
Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 160C. Place all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Melt the butter and syrup over a gentle heat, making sure it does not boil. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, add the milk and mix thoroughly.
Shape into 36 small balls and place on greased baking trays/sheets, spaced well apart and flatten lightly. The biscuits spread to about 2” across.
Bake for 16-18 minutes until browned. Leave to cool on a tray.
