Ginger Nuts For Grandpa

It was Grandpa's birthday yesterday and he absolutely loves ginger. So I made him a batch of ginger nut biscuits........... they were so nice. I got the recipe from the Women's Weekly cookbook 'sweet old fashioned favourites'

• 90g butter
• 1/3cup brow sugar
• 1/3 cup golden syrup
• 1 1/3 cups plain flour
• 3/4 tsp bi-carb soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves

1. Combine the butter, sugar and golden syrup in pan; stir over heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat, stir in sifted dry ingredients; stand until mixture feels warm to the touch.
2. Use a dessert spoon to roll the mixture into even balls, place on a well greased baking tray about 5cm apart; flatten slightly with a fork.
3. Bake in moderate oven for about 12 minutes or until golden brown; cool on trays.
Makes about 24.
