Ingredients:
– 125g butter or margarine
– 125g granulated sugar
– 1tsp ground ginger
– 40g stem ginger (finely chopped)
– 100g porridge oats
– 125g self-raising flour
Method:
Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 190C°/170C° Fan/Gas 5.
Step 2: Mix the butter (or margarine with the sugar (or ‘cream’ together for all you bakers out there).
Step 3: Combine the flour, porridge oats and ground ginger together and mix well with the margarine/butter until the ingredients combine to a smooth paste. Finally, add the finely chopped stem ginger and give it all another good mix.
Step 4: Using a small ice cream scoop or a large heaped tablespoon, divide the dough into 18-20 round shaped balls on 2 lined baking trays. Ensure you leave enough space between for the dough to spread out.
Step 5: Pop in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a rich golden-brown.
Step 6: Take out of the oven and cool.
