Instructions
1
In a bowl, cream the softened ghee with brown sugar and molasses until smooth and glossy.
2
Stir in the grated fresh ginger and beaten egg yolk until fully combined.
3
Sift together the flour, ground ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, baking soda and salt, then fold into the wet mixture to form a soft dough.
4
Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes so it firms up enough to roll.
5
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet.
6
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, roll each into a ball, then roll in the white sugar to coat.
7
Space the balls on the baking sheet, pressing each down slightly, and bake for 11-12 minutes until the edges are set and the tops are cracked.
8
Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to firm up completely before serving.
