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!
