Ingredients

350g plain flour

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

2-3 teaspoons of ground ginger

100g butter (or marg)

175g light soft brown sugar (works best!)

4 tablespoons (60ml) golden syrup

1 egg beaten

Icing (ready made or whatever)

Directions

Turn oven to 190 celcius or 375 fahrenheit or gas mark 5.

Dust 3 or 4 baking trays with flour.

Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda, and ginger into bowl.

Rub the butter with your fingers into the mixture, until you end up with fine-ish breadcrumbs.

Beat the edd and syrup together in a bowl, and stir into the bowl.

Knead with your fingers for a while until you end up with a dough like ball (it doesnt matter if it is a little dry, as the butter will eventually melt and make it softer).

Make you desired shapes (about 0.5cm or 1/4 inch thick), and place on the trays.

Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins.

Decorate with icing or whatever you want and eat!
