Based on 30 biscuits, each biscuit provides 104 cals, 3.5g fat (of which 2g saturates), 8g sugar and 0.2g salt per serving.
Ingredients
- 115g (4oz) butter, cubed
- 175g (6oz) soft brown sugar
- 4 tbsp golden syrup
- 340g (12oz) plain flour
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 medium egg, beaten
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/Fan 170°C/Gas Mark 4.
2. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper (if making all at once, 3 trays will be needed).
3. On a low heat, melt the butter, sugar and syrup. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
4. Sift the flour, ground ginger and bicarbonate of soda into a mixing bowl.
5. Add cooled syrup mixture and the beaten egg to dry ingredients.
6. Mix everything together and then tip the contents onto a floured surface and knead into dough for 5 minutes. Cling wrap and chill for 30 minutes (dough can be frozen when cool).
