["Preheat oven to 180C (350F).", "Using a mixer or a food processor, cream the butter and sugar.", "Add sifted flour, ground ginger and baking powder and mix well until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs- you can do this with your fingers if you like, but I do it in the food processor.", "If using a food processor, scrape down sides once or twice to ensure all butter is mixed in with the flour.", "Tip mixture into a well-greased shallow sided baking tin measuring approximately 27cm x 17cm (10 1/2\" x 6 1/2\"") or a 20cm (8\"") square.""
