Is there anything better than the firery flavour of a proper ginger biscuit? These ginger biscuits really pack a crunch and a punch. These take 13 minutes to bake which is quicker than buying them from the shop! Put the kettle on and your feet up, it's time to enjoy a great classic biscuit.
Preheat the oven at 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Step 2:
Place the flour, bicarb, sugar and ginger in a mixing bowl and add the butter, cut into cubes.
Step 3:
Rub the butter into the flour until it makes a crumbly mixture then add the syrup and 50g of the crystallised ginger. Mix well until the mixture binds into a soft dough. Try adding 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper and a pinch of dried chilli flakes for a spicier biscuit if liked.
Step 4:
Roll into about 30 small balls and place well apart on the baking trays. Sprinkle with a remaining crystallised ginger and flatten slightly.
Step 5:
Bake for 12-13 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6:
Allow to cool and harden on the baking tray for 10 minutes before cooling.

Recipe Reviews
Great biscuits. I personally think they need baked at a higher temperature so that they are less of a cookie and more of a biscuit.
I’ve just tasted some my granddaughter made and they are the best I’ve tasted , even better than mine 👍
Love the review by the 9 year old. Go you - bravo!!
I made them by my self I am 9 and they were so good my mum took them into her work and all got eaten
These are exactly the kind of ginger biscuits I was looking for! So so good! The crystallised ginger is the star! I added in 1 tsp of cinnamon too!
Just made these biscuits, so easy and they look and taste great. My husband has given them a 10 out of 10. Will be making them again for sure
