Notes

Don't Have Golden Syrup?

You can make this ginger biscuit recipe without golden syrup! Though I do prefer to include it in my biscuits. If you want to leave the golden syrup out, use 150 grams of light brown sugar instead.
You can use honey instead of golden syrup. I put a list together of golden syrup alternatives you can use.
