Preheat oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and golden syrup.
Sift together the flour, ginger, bicarb, cinnamon, and salt, then add to the wet mixture.
Roll the dough into small balls and place on the tray, leaving space to spread.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool and crisp up on a wire rack.
