3 tablespoons glace ginger, chopped, plus extra to decorate
Icing
200g (7 oz) icing sugar, sifted
4 teaspoons water

Line 12 sections of a deep bun tin with paper cake cases
Put the butter, syrup and sugar into a saucepan and heat gently stirring until the butter has melted
Mix the flour, baking powder and ground ginger in a bowl
Beat the eggs and milk in another bowl
Take the butter pan off the head then beat in the flour mixture
Gradually beat in the egg and milk mixture, then stir in the glace ginger

You can visit my blog for 2 christmas recipes and a china give-away. Love the pink teacup with a rose inside!
That looks absolutely yummy, but I have to ask, what is muscovado sugar? Is it anything like what we Americans call dark brown sugar?

Mmmmmm...these look yummy! Yes, what exactly IS muscovado sugar?
Ooh... how I would like to try one of those! :) I'm glad I stopped by for a visit!
These look and sound yummy...I like the way you decorated them too. I'd love to enjoy one right now with my morning chocolate coffee..hugs, Linda
P.S. Is glace ginger the same as candied ginger?
Yummy, I'll have to try them.
