How to Make Go Nuts About My Gingernuts

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 115g (1/2 cup) softened butter, 175g (3/4 cup) packed light brown sugar, and 115ml (1/2 cup) golden syrup.
  3. Stir over medium heat until the butter is completely melted and the sugar is dissolved, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together 225g (2 cups) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb the moisture and makes the dough easier to handle.
  8. Roll the dough into 2cm (3/4 inch) balls using approximately 2 level teaspoons of mixture for each biscuit.
  9. Place the balls onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, leaving about 3cm (1 1/4 inch) between each biscuit.
  10. Gently flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the gingernuts cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
