Finely grate the orange zest. Oatmeal can be ground in a food processor. Mix the flour, baking powder, ginger, sugar, salt, and orange zest. Sprinkle the butter and lard in pieces on top. Mix all ingredients into a dough. Add the syrup and enough milk to form a firm dough. Form the dough into a ball and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Then shape the dough into two logs (about 3 cm in diameter). Cut each into 30 slices. Place them on a baking sheet, leaving 1 cm between each slice, and sprinkle with rock sugar. Bake the cookies in the oven at about 160 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes. These cookies will keep in tins for several weeks.
