Preheat your oven to 180°C fan / 160°C fan/ gas mark 4. Grease and line two baking trays.

Stir the baking powder and ginger into the flour, then rub the butter and maple syrup into the flour with your finger tips, or pulse on and off in a food processer to combine into a crumbly texture, that will easily press together into a dough. Add a splash of water if needed to bring it together, but not too much.

Flour a clean work surface, and gently knead the dough, just to bring it together. Roll out to a 3mm thickness and cut out shapes using a bat cutter, or other Halloween shapes. 

Place onto the baking trays and bake for about 10 - 15 minutes until golden. Carefully transfer cooked biscuits onto wire cooling rack, and allow biscuits to cool completely before decorating.

To decorate use a selection of dried or fresh fruit, seeds and coconut, or leave plain if you prefer. Decorations can be stuck to the biscuits using a small amount of coconut oil, maple syrup or honey. Get little ones involved and get creative!

Display on a spooky Halloween party table, or make a hole in the top of the biscuit before baking and hang the biscuits with ribbon around the house or on bits of tree branch decorated around the house with cobwebs.
