Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 100 grams Caster sugar
• 85 grams Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Golden syrup
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and ground ginger, then stir in the caster sugar.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and golden syrup over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Add the milk gradually to bring the dough together into a soft but not sticky consistency.

Step 5

Roll small portions of the dough into balls, roughly the size of a walnut, and place them onto the prepared trays, leaving space between each ball to allow for spreading.

Step 6

Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a pattern on top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the gingernuts cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
