GINGER NUT RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium to large size pot slowly melt the first four ingredients (butter, sugar, golden syrup and milk) stirring constantly until all are blended together. Don't worry about dissolving every last bit of sugar.
• Remove from heat and then add baking soda and stir until dissolved. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 150°C.
• Sift in the flour and ginger and mix well. The mixture will be quite loose.
• Roll into small balls and put onto a baking tray. Flatten with the heel of the hand, allowing room for spreading.
• Bake in a slow oven, 150C - 13-15 minutes. I bake these on the rack above the middle of the oven. Simply because my oven tends to be a bit hot on the bottom.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
• Warm golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly in the saucepan.
• Combine flour, sugar, and ginger in a bowl. Rub in margarine. Mix in baking soda. Stir flour mixture into the golden syrup in the saucepan until dough is well combined.
• Take a small, walnut-sized piece of dough and roll it into a ball; continue with remaining dough. Space biscuits evenly apart on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are slightly cracked on the surface, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
