Ingredients
- 110 g margarine
- 110 g caster sugar
- 110 g golden syrup
- 225 g self-raising flour
- 2 tsp ground ginger
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 180°C and grease two baking sheets.
2. Melt the margarine, caster sugar and golden syrup gently in a pan over a medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and cool slightly, then add flour and ginger and mix to form a dough.
3. Once cool enough to handle, with floured hands roll the dough into 50 pence-size balls (about 2.5 cm across). Place individual balls onto a baking tray, allowing room between them for the biscuits to spread during cooking. Mark the back of each ball with a fork (or just flatten each ball slightly, if you prefer undecorated biscuits). The dough should make 30-40 biscuits.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool slight on trays then move biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat to cook all biscuits.
