Here's a recipe for shortbread bars:

125 gms (about 4 oz.) glace, crystallised or cooking ginger (not fresh ginger) 1 1/2 C self-raising flour
250 gms (about 8 oz.) butter or margarine
1/2 C sugar
1 C all purpose flour

Chop ginger finely. Combine dry ingredients. Stir in melted butter. Press into greased 8" square pan. Bake 30-35 mins at 350 F Cool in pan before slicing and removing. Store in airtight container.

I actually use a 11" x 7" pan, but don't think there are many lamington pans in the US. The 8' square will just give a thicker bar. I would use all metric measures, but it would work with all imperial ones just as well. Its the relative amounts that are important.
