Ingredients

900 g	plain flour
1 tsp	baking powder
½ tsp	bicarbonate of soda
¼ tsp	salt
2 tbsp	unsalted butter
¼ tsp	nutmeg
½ tsp	ground cinnamon
200 g	brown sugar

Instructions

This is a basic recipe and it would normally be spiced up with fresh ginger or flavoured with chocolate.

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 4, 180°C, 350°F.

Melt the butter and set aside.

Add enough warm water to the sugar to form a saturated solution (where the sugar starts to crystallise out again as no more can be dissolved).

Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, mixing with a wooden spoon. Make a well in the centre and pour in the butter and syrup. Mix to a dough.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes. Roll out the dough to 1/8 inch or 3mm thick and cut out 4 rounds. Place the rounds on baking sheets and bake for about 25 minutes or until they rise.

Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
