Gingerbread Biscuits

I baked these for the kid's birthday party yesterday and they went down a treat! 

Ingredients

200g plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons ground ginger

100g brown sugar

50g butter

1 small egg

1 tablespoon golden syrup

Method

Sieve the flour, baking powder and ginger into a bowl.  Rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs and stir in the sugar.  

Mix the egg and syrup in a small bowl and add to the centre of the dry mixture.  Mix well until you have a dough and knead until it becomes smooth.

Roll out the dough on a flour surface (or directly onto baking paper) and cut out your desired shapes.  Bake for 10-12 minutes at 180C until golden and let the biscuits cool on a wire rack before eating.
