Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment. In a saucepan over a low heat, melt the butter, sugar, fresh ginger and golden syrup and leave to cool.

  • step 2

    Mix the flour, ground ginger and bicarbonate of soda together in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Gradually stir in the cooled sugar mixture and the egg yolk and knead briefly to make a dough.

  • step 3

    Roll the dough into 20g balls and put on the prepared baking trays with 3cm between each to allow for spreading. Bake for 8-10 mins until golden brown. Leave to cool on the trays for a min, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Very soft dough … difficult to roll - sticky dough - quite soft biscuits - not sure whether they should be soft in middle - thought they’d be crisper

Lovely biscuits. Upped the amount of ginger as like a pronounced flavour, everything else went well.

Definitely needs more ground ginger to my taste, even though added chopped stem ginger. Omitted bicarb and still had softish biscuit texture. Nice but could be refined?

Yeah I add a heaping 2 T of ground ginger. I also use coconut oil instead of butter and coconut sugar in place of brown sugar. Love the recipe.

These are very easy to make. I always add a bit more ginger though and sometimes I add fiery ginger pieces. Very yummy and very moreish.
