Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and ground ginger, then stir in the caster sugar.
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.
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.
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.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
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.
Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
