Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Oil the handle of a wooden spoon and place it on a cooling rack.
Heat the butter, sugar, and golden syrup in a heavy-based pan over low heat.
Stir until the butter melts and the sugar granules have completely dissolved without boiling.
Cool the mixture for 3 minutes before sieving in the flour and ground ginger.
Stir in the lemon juice until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
Drop four teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto each tray spaced 10cm apart.
Bake for 15 minutes until dark golden and lacy in appearance.
Cool for one minute until pliable enough to lift with a fish slice.
Quickly roll the warm circles around the oiled wooden spoon handle to shape.
Slide the snaps off the handle and leave to firm up on a wire rack.
