  • 4 ounces white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

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.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are slightly cracked on the surface, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
