Butter Biscuits

I took the ginger biscuit recipe, took out the ginger and went all butter. The results are great. I measured each ball of the mixture to 20g a piece and they were ready after 8 minutes in a fully preheated fan oven. The edited version of the recipe is below. Give it a go!

Ingredients:

8 oz (220g) flour, 2 cups
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 oz (110 g) butter, 1/2 cup
4 oz (110 g) sugar, 2 cups
1/2 teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda (Baking soda) dissolved in 1 teaspoon hot water (it will fizz)
2 large tablespoons golden syrup (substitute light corn syrup), warmed (easily done in microwave for 15 seconds)

Method:

1. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl.
2. Rub in the margarine. Add the sugar, then mix to a dough with the bicarbonate of soda mixture and syrup.
3. Roll the mixture into walnut-sized balls (20g) and place them on greased baking sheets.
4. Press down the centre of each ball with your thumb.
5. Bake in a preheated moderately hot oven 200°C (400°F) Gas mark 6 for about 8 minutes.
