(Traditional recipe)
4 oz butter
2 tsp baking powder
4 oz sugar
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
8 oz flour
2 tsp mixed spice
4 tbsp golden syrup
3 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
Sieve together the flour, salt, spices, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Rub in the butter, and add the sugar. Spoon the syrup in to a cup, stand in shallow water in a pan and heat gently until soft.
Pour the liquid syrup onto the other ingredients and work in thoroughly. With floury hands, roll the mixture into small balls and place on a greased baking tray, well spaced out. Bake at 400F, moving the biscuits from the top to the bottom shelf of the oven the moment they being to brown.
