2 1/2 cups icing sugar for buttercream
9/16 cup butter Softened, for buttercream
15/16 cup stem ginger Finely Chopped, for buttercream
1 teaspoon essence Ginger, for buttercream, if you wish
2 1/4 cups plain flour for biscuits
15/16 cup caster sugar for biscuits
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda for biscuits
6 tablespoons butter Softened
2 tablespoons black treacle Molasses
2 11/16 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger Grated
1 pinch salt

1
With an electric mixer, cream together the butter and 110g of caster sugar until light and fluffy.
2
Stir in the Black treacle.
3
Mix in the water and fresh ginger.
4
Sift together the dried spices, flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda. Then gradually add to the butter-sugar-treacle mix.
5
Leave dough in a ball in the bowl and chill the mixture for 20 minutes (or overnight if you want) to make it easier to handle.
6
Preheat the oven to 170c/335F/Gas Mark 3. Place sheet of grease-proof paper in a tray.
7
Put remaining Caster Sugar in a bowl, ready for rolling.
8
Take dough out of fridge, and roll them into walnut sized balls, coating them in sugar on both sides, before flattening them to 1/4 inch disks.
9
Place biscuits on the grease-proof paper in tray approximately 2 inches apart.
10
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or 12-14 for harder biscuits. Ovens do vary.
11
While the biscuits are baking and cooling, add the icing sugar and butter (and ginger essence, if you want) to an electric mixer, whisking until you get a creamy texture. Stir in the chopped stem ginger.
12
Butter one side of the cooled biscuits with the ginger butter cream, and sandwich together to finish.
