Evil Ginger Crunch

I call this Ginger Crunch evil because it is! It is so yummy and so decadent that it is almost sinful.

Ginger Crunch

Base:

250gm butter, softened
1/2 cup icing sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
2 cups flour
2 tsp ground ginger

Heat oven to 180degC. Cream butter and sugar, then add flour etc. Press into a slice tin, and bake for 10 minutes.

Topping:

3 TBSP butter
3 tsp ground ginger (or more if you like it extra spicy)
3 rounded tablespoons of Golden Syrup
2 TBSP Water
3 cups Icing Sugar

Heat without boiling until melted. Then add the icing sugar and beat well until there are no lumps. Pour onto warm base and chill until set. Slice.
