Sift flour, ginger and bicarbonate together into a bowl. Add the sugar and then lightly rub in the margarine until the mixture is crumbly. Add the syrup to make a stiff paste. Divide the paste into 16 equal pieces and roll them into slightly flattened balls. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving plenty of room as the biscuits spread quite a bit when they cook. Flatten the balls slightly with the bak of a spoon and put in the hot oven to bake for 10-15 minutes. During baking the biscuits spread out quite a bit and crack. Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, then on a wire rack until cold. Store in an airtight tin, if you can bear to stay away from them that long. These are superior by far to shop-bought biscuits - I hope you have lots of fun making and eating them.
