100g butter
1 Tablespoon golden syrup
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ginger (depending on how gingery you like it)
1/2 cup crystallised ginger chopped finely
1 egg
1 level teaspoon baking/bread soda
1 3/4 cups flour
Melt butter and golden syrup. Add sugar, ginger and egg, beat with a fork until well mixed. Add baking soda then unsifted flour. Mix to make a dough. Roll into balls and bake at 180 C for 10 minutes until golden brown. No need to flatten them- they do it themselves.
