Servings: persons

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, chopped
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons golden syrup or dark corn syrup
2 teaspoons ground ginger
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0 F. Line the base and two long sides of a 10 3/4 x 7-inch shallow cake pan with baking paper.
2
Put the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl and beat with electric beaters until creamy. Sift together the all-purpose flour, ginger, and baking powder. Use a metal spoon to stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture in two batches until well incorporated. Use your fingers to press firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutets, or until pale golden and firm to touch.
3
Meanwhile, to make the ginger frosting, put the butter, golden syrup, ginger, and confectioners' sugar in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until smooth. Pour and spread the frosting evenly over the bar while the bar is hot. Mark into 16 slices and scatter over the crystallized ginger. Set aside to cool, then cut, using marks as a guide.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
