This super simple recipe uses basic ingredients and takes minimal effort to make, yet delivers a burst of ginger flavor that will leave you craving more.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
2 tbsp ginger
30g
1/2 cup maple syrup
120g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and ground ginger. Ensure the ingredients are well mixed.
3. Cream the Butter:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until it is smooth and creamy. This can be done using an electric mixer on medium speed or by hand with a wooden spoon.
4. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add the maple syrup to the creamed butter and beat until well combined.
- Add the egg and continue to mix until the mixture is light and fluffy.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; you want the dough to be just combined.
6. Form the Biscuits:
- Using your hands or a spoon, take small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
- Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
7. Flatten the Dough:
- Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to lightly flatten each dough ball. This will help them bake evenly.
8. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
9. Cool:
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
- Once the biscuits have cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or as a delightful snack!

Tips:

- For a stronger ginger flavor, consider adding up to 1 tbsp (15g) of freshly grated ginger to the mix.

- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help the biscuits maintain their shape.

- To ensure even baking, make sure all biscuits are of uniform size.

- You can add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors even more.

- If you prefer a crispy texture, bake the biscuits for an extra 2-3 minutes.

Your super simple ginger biscuits are now ready to be enjoyed! Allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. These biscuits make for a perfect snack, gift, or even a quick dessert. Enjoy the warm, spicy taste of ginger and the sweet hints of maple syrup in every bite. Happy baking!
