About the bake
These traditional buttery and crisp biscuits keep well in a tin for 3-4 days - if you can save them that long. If you're feeling super indulgent, why not try out our chocolate dipped cornish fairings recipe.
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Line 2 baking trays with baking parchment.
Step 2
Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan over a low heat.
Ingredients for this step
- Butter (unsalted) (room temperature) (100g)
- Billington's Unrefined Golden Caster Sugar (100g)
- Silver Spoon Golden Syrup (2 tbsp)
Step 3
Sift the flour, ginger, mixed spice, cinnamon, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt together into a bowl, then tip in the melted butter mixture and gently stir to form a smooth dough.
Ingredients for this step
- Allinson's Self-Raising White Flour (175g)
- Ginger (ground) (2 tsp)
- Mixed spice (ground) (0.5 tsp)
- Cinnamon (ground) (0.5 tsp)
- Bicarbonate of soda (0.5 tsp)
- Salt (Pinch)
Step 4
Place heaped teaspoonfuls of the mixture on to baking sheets, about 3cm apart to allow room for them to spread. Flatten slightly with a knife.
Step 5
Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool and harden on the baking tray for 10 minutes before cooling.
