My English cousin in Yorkshire sent me this old-fashioned recipe for buttery ginger cookies (or "biscuits" if you're British). You'll love the taste!

Ingredients

2-1/2 cups biscuit/baking mix or self-rising flour
1/2 cup sugar
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch salt
1/2 egg, beaten
1/2 cup corn syrup or maple syrup
1/4 cup butter, cubed

Directions

In a bowl, combine baking mix or flour, sugar, ginger, soda and salt. Using hands, rub egg into mixture.
In a saucepan, warm syrup and butter; stir into batter. Let stand for 3-4 minutes, then knead. Roll heaping teaspoonfuls into small balls. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
Bake at 325° for 12-15 minutes. Cookies will flatten and "crackle" when done.
