Ingredients
3 oz self-raising flour
3 oz flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tsp ground ginger
3 oz margarine
2 tbs caster sugar
1 1/2 tsp golden syrup, heated gently
2 oz crystallized ginger, chopped small
Directions
Sift the dry ingredients in to a bowl (tip in the bran left in the sieve). Rub in the margarine until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix in the sugar, then the warmed golden syrup and the crystallized ginger. Knead to a light dough. Break off small pieces of the dough the size of a walnut, shape into balls and put on a baking sheet. Flatten the balls with a fork. Bake at 200 C/400 F/gas 6 for 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then lift carefully on to a rack to cool completely.
