Ginger Biscuits
Posted on 21st Apr 2018
There's nothing more comforting than the smell of baking ginger biscuits. It reminds me of my grandparents and Scandinavian winters.
Ingredients
380g plain flour
1 Tbsp ground ginger*
1 tsp mixed spice*
1 tsp bicarb of soda
100g brown sugar (I use rapadura)
130g chilled chopped butter
130g syrup (I use rice malt syrup + a Tbsp molasses)
Pinch of salt
1 egg
Method (for Thermomix, or just use a food processor)
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees
2. Blitz all ingredients in Thermomix 12 seconds / speed 6
3. Mix for 50 seconds on dough mode
4. Roll dough into a ball and refrigerate for 30 mins
5. Roll out between baking sheets then cut into shapes or bake as a slab for 10 - 15 minutes
*I recently discovered an amazing spice shop in Newcastle called My Souk Drawer - all hand roasted and blended. You can replace the ginger/ mixed spice here with 2 Tbsp of Gingersnap Spice Mix . Soooo good.
