How to Make Edmonds Ginger Crunch

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease and flour a 20x30cm (8x12 inch) sponge roll tin.
  2. Cream together 250g (2 sticks) softened butter and 200g (1 ½ cups) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together 400g (3 cups) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 tablespoon ground ginger.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds until it comes together.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared tin.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. While the base is baking, prepare the icing: In a small saucepan, combine 50g (¼ cup) butter, 200g (1 ½ cups) icing sugar, 2 tablespoons golden syrup, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
  9. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the icing is smooth.
  10. Pour the hot ginger icing evenly over the hot biscuit base immediately after removing it from the oven.
  11. Allow to cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares.
