Ginger Biscuits
Description
This recipe starts by sifting together self-rising flour, baking soda, and ground ginger, ensuring even distribution of leavening and spice. Chilled butter cubes are rubbed into this dry mixture to form a crumbly texture. Caster sugar is stirred in before binding the ingredients with enough golden syrup to form a pliable dough.
The dough is rolled out as thinly as possible on a floured surface, allowing the biscuits to become crisp when baked. Small biscuit rounds approximately 5 centimeters in diameter are cut and placed onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. The biscuits bake at a moderate 170°C (fan forced) for about 7 to 10 minutes until just cooked and beginning to brown slightly at the edges.
Once baked and cooled, the ginger biscuits showcase a gentle yet distinctive spiced flavor, balanced sweetness, and tender crumb that softens slightly as they cool. These can be enjoyed alone or with tea and coffee.
