Munns' Munchies Ginger Biscuits - John's version!

Ginger biscuits are always a favourite.

I found a recipe which was so easy even I could make them and then modified it a bit as I like a little crunch on the edges and lots of ginger. For those who have asked and who are hungry try this.

This recipe will make about 24 biscuits. (allowing a couple to test)

You will need

1 cup of self raising flour

1/2 cup of brown sugar. (adds a little crunch)

1 level teaspoon of baking powder

60g butter (soft)

1 heaped teaspoon ground ginger ( I like more like a level tablespoon)

2 teaspoons of golden syrup.

1 large egg (or two small)

Utensils you need

Large mixing bowl

Wooden spoon

Teaspoon 

large flat baking tray 

Baking paper

What you need to do

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C  - fan on

Mix all ingredients except egg in bowl with wooden spoon.

Beat egg and slowly mix into ingredients until a stiff batter consistency. 

If too wet add a little more flour and sugar. Should just drop off a teaspoon.

Cover tray with baking paper

Using teaspoon drop walnut sized drops onto sheet leaving enough space to spread.

Bake in oven for 15 - 20 minutes - if you prefer softer biscuits

If you prefer crunchy edges etc bake for 10 - 15 minutes until just light brown

Remove from oven allow to cool for 10 minutes

Return to oven for another 15 minutes or until edges turn darker brown

Remove from oven leave on tray for 10 minutes

Remove from tray onto cooling rack - trying not to test at least one!

All done in 30 to 40 minutes.

Enjoy.
