In the late 70's I went into a school where some children had been making these delicious biscuits.

A 7-year-old girl wrote down the recipe for me.
(Even then metric weights were used to measure the ingredients in school.)

 Ingredients to make 3 dozen biscuits:

    200g (7oz) flour
    5 ml (1 teaspoon) ground ginger (more if you like)
    50g (2 oz) butter
    125g (4 oz) sugar
    30 ml (2 tablespoons) golden syrup
    15 ml(1 tablespoon) milk

Set the oven to Gas Mark 4, 180°C (350°F).

Mix the ginger into the flour and then rub in the butter. Mix in the sugar, syrup and finally the milk.

Turn out onto a floured board and knead briefly.

Divide into two. Roll out evenly and not too thinly and cut into rounds

Bake for about 10 minutes or until they are a pale golden brown.

Put onto a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight tin.
