Ginger Biscuits

I'm a sucker for a biscuit, but in the past havn't had the best luck with making my own. This weekend however I gave ginger biscuits a whirl, they were so easy and taste delicious! Have a go! But be warned... They are very more-ish!! 

Makes 20-30 biscuits 

Ingredients

110g margarine, plus extra for greasing

110g caster sugar 

110g golden syrup

225g self raising flour

3 tsp ground ginger 

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C fan.

2. In a small pan over a low heat, melt together the butter, sugar and golden syrup. Leave to cool until cool enough to touch.

3. Mix together the flour and ground ginger in a bowl, then stir in the molten butter, sugar and syrup to make a dough.

4. With your hands, roll the dough into approx 20-30 balls the size of 50p coins or 2/3 the size of a ping pong ball. Place with plenty of space around them on 2 greased baking trays.

5. Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool and firm up slightly on the trays, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely... And get the kettle on!
