Healthy Ginger Biscuits

Method

• step 1

  Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 180°, gas mark 5). Prepare two baking trays with greaseproof paper. Sift the flour into a large bowl and add the oatbran, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and cinnamon.

• step 2

  Melt the butter, golden syrup and honey in a small pan over a low heat. Pour over the dry ingredients.

• step 3

  Mix well and bring together with hands to make a firm dough.

• step 4

  Prepare a lightly floured surface and roll out half of the dough to roughly 5mm thick. Use any shaped cutters (preferably around 5-8cm in diameter) to stamp out the biscuits. Transfer to a baking tray and repeat with the other half.

• step 5

  Bake for around 10 minutes, or until slightly browned. Don't worry if the biscuits aren't hardened yet as they do when they cool down. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool for about 10 mins.
