Happy Christmas from the Londons

Please help yourself to a ginger biscuit before Mr London eats them all.

This is the recipe, for anyone interested:

350g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
100g butter
175g soft brown sugar
3 tablespoons golden syrup
1 egg

1. Put the flour, baking powder, ginger and cinnamon in a bowl. Add the butter and rub in with fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. 
2. Add sugar and syrup, mix with a spoon, then add egg and mix that in with the spoon. 
3. Knead the mixture until it's a smooth dough. You can add a little flour if it's too loose, or a little extra butter or treacle if it's too stiff. 
4. Roll out to about 5mm thickness, then cut out shapes. 
5. Bake in oven at 170 C, gas mark 3 for 10 minutes. The biscuits will still be soft when you take them out of the oven, but they harden as they cool. 
6. Ice if liked. 

Thank you so much to all of you who read this blog. I've really enjoyed chatting to you, and here's to a good 2010.
