• 4 ounces white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 4 ounces margarine
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets or line with parchment paper.

   Warm golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly in the saucepan.

3. 3

   Combine flour, sugar, and ginger in a bowl. Rub in margarine. Mix in baking soda. Stir flour mixture into the golden syrup in the saucepan until dough is well combined.

4. 4

   Take a small, walnut-sized piece of dough and roll it into a ball; continue with remaining dough. Space biscuits evenly apart on the prepared baking sheets.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are slightly cracked on the surface, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
