Instructions
Combine sugar, golden syrup, butter, spices and fresh ginger in a heavy- pan over low heat, and let melt, stirring. Remove from heat for two minutes, and stir in bicarbonate of soda until light and fluffy. Sift flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre, add eggs and gradually add the syrup, stirring until all flour is incorporated and you have a dough. Wrap dough in plastic and chill for an hour.
Heat oven to 350°F, and roll out dough thinly on a floured surface. Cut into shapes, and place on trays lined with baking paper. Bake for ten minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool for five minutes before removing from tray. Cool on a wire rack.

Warm, fragrant gingerbread can be made into shapes of people or animals, or simply cut into rounds and served warm with poached pears as a desert.
