Ingredients
- 110 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 200 grams plain flour
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 50 grams crushed nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and golden syrup together until smooth. Stir occasionally and remove from the heat once melted.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the plain flour, ground ginger, and baking soda. Add the crushed nuts and combine.
Step 4
Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a dough begins to form. If the dough is too crumbly, add up to 1 tablespoon of milk, a little at a time, until it comes together.
Step 5
Scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to form a disc.
Step 6
Place the discs onto the prepared baking tray, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading.
Step 7
Bake the gingernuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 8
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve with tea or coffee, or store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy the nutty gingery goodness!
