Quick'n'Easy Ginger Biscuits

I was sitting in my armchair the other evening feeling like I needed a pick-me-up. They say a man eats a biscuit (cookie) not because he is hungry, but because he needs comfort. That described me precisely. I had eaten a good supper and I wanted - not needed - something else. So, I popped into the kitchen and twenty minutes later I was enjoying my freshly baked ginger biscuits. Here is how I made them:

Ingredients

• 1 cup of plain (or all-purpose) flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons Lyles Black Treacle

Preparation

• Knead the flour and butter together until smooth
• Add all the other ingredients and stir thoroughly
• Stir in 1 tablespoon hot water to moisten the batter
• Splat dollops of batter onto a baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350F for 20 minutes
