Ormskirk Gingersnaps

150 gms plain flour			grated rind 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon ground ginger		176 gms butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon		222 gms golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground mace		225 gms castor sugar

Sieve the flour and spices into a bowl and stir in the lemon rind. Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan. Pour the melted mixture into the flour mixtures and blend until it is a dropping consistency.

Drop teaspoons of the batter onto a greased baking try. Allow plenty of room for spreading. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C. for about 7-10 minutes, then loosen with a palette knife. Roll the still soft "pancakes" around a greased wooden spoon handle. Leave until set, then twist the gingersnaps gently to remove. Warm them a bit if they set to soon before shaping. Serve filled with whipped cream.
