Method

1. Preheat a conventional oven to 180 °C, line a baking tray with baking paper and take the butter out of the fridge to soften.
2. In a bowl beat the soft butter, brown sugar and molasses with a spatula until creamy and even.
3. In another bowl mix the plain flour with the ground ginger, cinnamon, ground cloves and bicarbonate of soda, then add it to the butter mixture and knead until it holds together.
4. Roll two balls, place them well apart on the tray and flatten them to about 1 cm thick.
5. Bake for 10 minutes, until the tops are cracked and the edges firm: the centre will stay soft.
6. Leave them on the tray for a few minutes before lifting them off.
