Ginger Biscuits

140g s/r flour
40g sugar
2 generous tbsp ground ginger
110g butter

Mix dry ingredients together. Rub fat into flour to make dough. Roll out (or flatten with heel of hand) and cut to preferred shapes. Place on lined baking tray and bake at 180C for 15-20 mins until golden brown. Cool, eat and enjoy!

(I usually add approx 2 tbsp finely chopped root ginger to the almost finalised dough, and for VERY ginger biscuits, increase the ground ginger! You could experiment with stem ginger but maybe reduce the sugar accordingly.)


Cinnamon Biscuits

As ginger biscuits, but replace the ginger with cinnamon and just before the dough is finalised, add sultanas, chopped if you prefer.


If you want to be healthy, replace up to half the butter with low fat natural yoghurt or low fat Philadelphia cheese. And of course, for diabetics and dieters, replace the sugar with Candarel or similar - amend the quantities accordingly.

Hi Kate
2 tablespoons - makes quite a gingery biscuit so if you prefer a milder flavour, reduce the ginger

And when I say "generous", I do mean as full as possible, heaped as high as possible OH likes to know he's eating a GINGER biscuit
