Ingredients
- 250 grams Plain flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F.
Step 2
Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the plain flour, baking soda, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon.
Step 4
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, sugar, and golden syrup together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 5
Pour the cooled butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Step 6
Add the milk and stir until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a small amount of flour until manageable.
Step 7
Roll small portions of the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking trays, leaving space between each ball to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to touch.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the gingernuts to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store the cooled gingernuts in an airtight container for up to a week.
