Preheat the oven to
150°C/300°F/Gas mark 2. Lightly grease a baking
tray.
Beat the
sugar with the butter and golden syrup until light
and thick. Sift in the flour and ginger and stir
together.
Divide into 12 equal parts, then roll
these into small balls. Place them on the baking
tray and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, when the balls
will have spread into dark brown biscuits.
Allow to
cool briefly and then lift them off, one at a time.
At this point they will be pliable.
Lay them one at
a time around the handle of a wooden spoon to bend
in half. They should set hard very quickly.
