Is there anything better than the firery flavour of a proper ginger biscuit? These ginger biscuits really pack a crunch and a punch.
These take 13 minutes to bake which is quicker than buying them from the shop! Put the kettle on and your feet up, it's time to enjoy a great classic biscuit.
Preheat the oven at 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Step 2
Place the flour, bicarb, sugar and ginger in a mixing bowl and add the butter, cut into cubes.
Step 3
Rub the butter into the flour until it makes a crumbly mixture then add the syrup and 50g of the crystallised ginger. Mix well until the mixture binds into a soft dough. Try adding 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper and a pinch of dried chilli flakes for a spicier biscuit if liked.
Step 4
Roll into about 30 small balls and place well apart on the baking trays. Sprinkle with a remaining crystallised ginger and flatten slightly.
Step 5
Bake for 12-13 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6
Allow to cool and harden on the baking tray for 10 minutes before cooling.
