## Ingredients

- 400 g plain flour
- 200 g soft brown sugar
- 200 g unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk powder
- 200 g golden syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- 1 tsp bicarb soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- flaky salt

## Instructions

1. Brown the butter in a saucepan, adding 2 tablespoons of milk powder if desired, until nutty and brown.
2. Stir 200 grams of golden syrup into the hot butter, ensuring the residual heat dissolves the sugar.
3. Add about a teaspoon of vanilla paste to the butter mixture.
4. In a large bowl, mix 400 grams of plain flour, 200 grams of soft brown sugar, a good pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of bicarb soda, and 2 teaspoons of ground ginger.
5. Pour the hot butter and syrup mixture into the dry ingredients and stir.
6. Lightly whisk the two large eggs and then stir them through the mixture until a soft dough forms.
7. Chill the dough in the fridge until it firms up a bit.
8. Roll the dough into small balls, about the size of the palm of your hand, and space them out on baking sheets.
9. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
10. Bake for 10 minutes.
11. Sprinkle with flaky salt after baking.

## Tips

- Adding milk powder to brown butter creates strong caramelly notes.
- You can omit browning the butter.
- If using self-raising flour, omit baking powder.
- You can make them without the egg for a different texture.
- Chill the dough in the fridge to firm up before rolling.
- For a crisper biscuit, bake for a little longer but keep an eye on them.
- You can add chocolate chips or crystallised ginger for more texture.
- Honey can be used instead of syrup.
