Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
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.
Stir in the golden syrup and mix until well combined.
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water.
Add the dissolved baking soda to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.
Gradually incorporate the sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing with a spoon until the dough comes together.
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.
Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking trays for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the ginger biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
