What you'll need
  • 200g brown sugar
  • 175g unsalted butter
  • 100g golden syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 120g self raising flour (gluten free)
  • 350g plain flour (gluten free)
  • 2 tsp ginger
Instructions
  1. Melt butter, golden syrup and sugar together. I did this for 2 minutes, 100 degrees and speed 1 in the thermomix. Set aside until cool.
  2. Add in egg and gently combine.
  3. Add in both flours and ginger and mix well. I did this for 1 minute speed 3.
  4. Now tip out the mixture into a large bowl, cover with wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. You could also split your mixture into 2 and freeze half as you get a lot of biscuits out of the dough. To do this just wrap a disc of the dough in cling film and freeze. Remove from freezer about 30 minutes before you want to use it.
  6. Take a portion of dough, flour each side (be sure to use gluten free flour here if you are making the biscuits gluten free), and lightly dust your cutters and have some fun.
  7. Place the cut out biscuits on lined baking trays and bake in an oven that has been preheated to 170 degrees. The cookies are done when they are nice and golden. Cool a few minutes on the tray then lift off the paper to the cookie sheet.
  8. We got over 4 trays of biscuits from this recipe and they were so popular when we took them to a party.
