Ingredients:

170g butter, softened
240g sugar
3 tbsp black treacle (molasses)
1 egg
500g sifted flour
3/4 tbsp ground ginger
3/4 tbsp ground cinnamon
3 tsp baking soda

Method:

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat the egg well in a separated bowl and then add the treacle. Whisk into the egg and add this egg and treacle mixture to the creamed butter mix a little at a time, beating continually. Add the dry ingredients and fold into the mixture. You should get a fairly stiff dough which you should form into small balls with your hands.

Place on a well-greased baking sheet, leaving plenty of room between them as they will melt and form biscuits as they cook. Place in a pre-heated oven at 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4) and bake for about 15 minutes until firm and golden. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool.
