Ginger Nuts

125g self raising flour
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 heaping tsp ground ginger
45g sugar
60g butter
60g golden syrup

Sieve the flour, bicarbonate soda and ground ginger into a bowl, add the sugar. Add the butter and rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the golden syrup and knead until it forms a soft dough. Divide the dough into 16 and roll into spheres, flatten slightly and place on a baking tray. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 190 degress centigrade. Allow to cool and harden before removing from the tray.




The biscuits were lovely but not quite ginger-y enough. I think next time I will increase the ginger to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
