Step-by-Step Instructions
01
Prepare the flax egg by mixing 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tbsp of water in a small bowl; let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens to a gel-like consistency.
02
Line two large baking sheets with baking parchment. In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the dairy-free margarine, dark muscovado sugar, and golden syrup until smooth and combined.
03
Transfer the melted mixture to a medium bowl and allow it to cool slightly. Stir in the thickened flax egg, then add the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients come together into a smooth dough.
04
Wrap the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes until it is firm and easy to handle.
05
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas 6). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of approximately 5mm.
