 Method:
Place the flour, ground ginger, bicarbonate of soda and butter into a bowl.
Rub butter into the flour until it looks like bread crumbs.
Add brown sugar, syrup & egg mix to the dry ingredients to form the dough into a ball.
Then chill dough for 15 minutes in the fridge.
Roll out onto a lightly floured Worktop about 1/2 cm thick
Bake in a preheated oven at 180c for 10 - 15 minutes.
Take out the oven to cool completely.
