Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Ground ginger
- 100 g Caster sugar
- 100 g Unsalted butter
- 75 g Unsalted butter (for icing)
- 200 g Icing sugar
- 2 tsp Ground ginger (for icing)
- 2 tbsp Golden syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking tin with baking paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and ground ginger. Stir in the caster sugar.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then pour it into the dry ingredients. Mix well until a crumbly dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking tin, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon or your hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly while you prepare the icing.
To make the ginger icing, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in the icing sugar, ground ginger, and golden syrup until smooth and combined.
While the base is still warm, pour the ginger icing over it, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula or spoon.
Allow the slice to cool completely in the tin. Once set, cut into squares or rectangles to serve. Enjoy!
