Gingernuts (a New Zealand biscuit)

Make up this recipe and you will never buy gingernuts again.


6 oz flour 1/2 tsp.baking powder
pinch salt 3oz butter or margarine
1/4 tsp baking soda 3oz golden syrup (warmed)
2 tsp ground ginger 3oz soft brown sugar
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tablespoon finely chopped mixed peel or the finely grated rind of one
lemon.

Sadly, golden syrup is not something I keep around (though every store carries it). I’m not going out in the torrential downpour to get some today.

Fortunately, there are lots of recipes for these. One of ’em’s got to work.
