What you’ll need
2 ¼ cups The Healthy Baker Plain Flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
1 ½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch salt
120g butter melted
¼ cup golden syrup
½ cup caster sugar
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoon ginger finely chopped
1 egg
½ cup caster sugar for rolling
Preheat oven to 180C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
Combine the flour, bicarbonate soda, cardamom, ginger, black pepper and salt in a medium-sized bowl and whisk to combine.
In another bowl combine the melted butter, golden syrup, sugars, fresh ginger and egg and stir until well combined. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together.
Turn out to a lightly floured work surface and gently knead until you have a lovely soft dough. Then cover and place in the fridge to chill for a couple of hours.
Roll dough into balls about the size of a walnut, roll in the sugar and place on the baking sheets, gently press down with a fork.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
