Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams white sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, cream the unsalted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the golden syrup and mix until well combined.
Step 5
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water.
Step 6
Add the dissolved baking soda to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.
Step 7
Gradually incorporate the sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing with a spoon until the dough comes together.
Step 8
Using your hands, shape walnut-sized portions of the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking trays. Ensure they are spaced apart to allow for spreading during baking.
Step 9
Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Step 11
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking trays for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Store the ginger biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
