Ingredients
  

  • 150 grams 5oz butter, diced if cold
  • 1 tablespoon golden syrup see note
  • 175 grams 6oz granulated sugar
  • 75 grams 3oz self-raising flour
  • 50 grams 2oz semolina
  • 100 grams 4oz porridge oats (standard or jumbo)
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180˚C/160˚C Fan/Gas 4. Line 3–4 baking sheets with parchment paper or two sheets if baking in batches.
  • In a saucepan, gently warm the butter, golden syrup, and sugar over medium heat until melted and smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the flour, semolina, oats, and ginger until well combined. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet, flattening it out, and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  • Roll teaspoonfuls of the mixture into 36 small balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced apart. Flatten slightly with your fingers, then bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Allow the biscuits to cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
