INGREDIENTS:
8 oz. flour 4 oz. butter or margarine 2 oz. caster sugar
2 tablespoon golden syrup or black treacle 1 teaspoon ground ginger (optional) 1 large egg



1 Set oven to 350 F. or Mark 4. Grease a baking tray. Cream together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the flour, the egg and the syrup (together with the ginger, if required.) Beat well. Alternatively, put all the ingredients in a blender and mix well but ensure that they are at room temperature. Drop dessert spoonfuls on to a baking tray leaving room for them to expand. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until light golden brown.
2 Place on a wire rack to cool. A delicious cross between a cake and a biscuit.
