Ingredients
Turn these into ginger creams with FactoBrunt's ginger creams blog recipe.
- Unsalted butter 75g (3oz)
- Soft dark brown sugar 75g (3oz)
- Clear honey 75g (3oz)
- Black treacle 50g (2oz)
- Self-raising flour 225g (8oz)
- Bicarbonate of soda 1 tsp
- Ground ginger 1 tsp
- Ground cinnamon 1 tsp
- Crystallised stem ginger 50g (2oz), roughly chopped
Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF/ gas 4. Using non-stick baking foil, line 2-3 large baking trays. Place butter, sugar, honey and treacle into a large saucepan and stir over a moderate heat until melted and smooth.
- Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and cinnamon into saucepan, add chopped ginger, mix well and then allow mixture to cool slightly.
- Using a teaspoon, take a slightly rounded spoonful of biscuit mixture, roll it into a smooth ball and place it on a baking tray.
- Repeat, spacing balls well apart, until mixture is used up (can be baked in several batches). Bake biscuits for 12-15 minutes until browned.
- Remove from oven and leave to cool a little before transferring onto wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

I've just made these biscuits for the second time in three days. This time I've made twice as many they were so popular! Definitely going to try putting butter cream in the middle Dave, that's a fab idea.

I just made these (although I missed out the crystallised ginger) and made them into ginger creams by getting two and putting butter cream in the middle. They are incredible. The recipe's been printed and added to my recipe folder!
