How to Make Ginger Crunch Slice

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20cm x 30cm baking tin with non-stick baking paper.
  2. **Make the biscuit base:** In a food processor, combine 200g plain flour, 100g caster sugar, 2 tbsp ground ginger, and 2 tsp baking powder. Pulse until well combined.
  3. Add 100g cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  4. Press the crumbly mixture firmly into the prepared tin.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  6. **Make the ginger icing:** In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 50g unsalted butter, 50g golden syrup, and 1 tbsp ground ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  7. Remove from heat and gradually stir in 200g icing sugar until smooth and glossy.
  8. Immediately pour the icing over the warm biscuit base and spread evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the icing is completely set.
  10. Once set, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
