Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 50 g butter
  • 50 g golden caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup
  • 50 g plain flour ((all purpose flour))
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ lemon (finely grated zest only)
  • 1 tsp brandy

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃ (160℃ fan)/350°F/gas mark 4. Lightly grease  or line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment.
  • Place the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a small pan over a low heat. Heat gently stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Do this slowly and make sure the sugar has dissolved before removing from the heat.,
  • Sift the flour and ginger into the pan and add the lemon zest and brandy. Mix well to a smooth consistency.
  • Drop teaspoons of the mixture onto a baking sheet leaving plenty of room between for the biscuits to spread. Bake one tray at a time for 7-8 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow to stand for a moment or two until the biscuits can be easily lifted from the sheet with a palette knife. Shape the biscuits by wrapping around the handle of a wooden spoon and leaving for a minute to set.
  • Repeat until all the biscuits are made. Store in an airtight container
