Ginger Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup margarine or butter (room temperature)
  • 4 tablespoons golden syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Add sugar and stir well.

3. Rub in butter: Add margarine/butter and rub in with fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

4. Form dough: Stir in the golden syrup. Mix gently until a dough forms (do not overmix).

5. Shape biscuits: Using an ice cream scoop or deep spoon, portion the dough. Roll into balls and place on the baking tray, leaving space for spreading.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown.

7. Cool & serve: Let biscuits cool slightly on the tray before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.

✨ Tips

For extra crunch, sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking.

If you prefer chewy ginger biscuits, bake for slightly less time.

You can add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for a richer spice flavor.
