Ingredients

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

Method

1. In a mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix or flour, sugar, ginger, soda and salt. Using hands, rub egg into mixture.
2. In a saucepan, warm syrup and butter; stir into batter. Let stand for 3-4 minutes, then knead.
