Yesterday on my 'other' blog I was umming and ahing about which biscuits to make when friends came to lunch. Rachel, a bloggy friend, came to my rescue with a brilliant, yet simple, recipe for gingernuts. I made them and - wow! They are crunchy, light, firm but won't break your fillings and, unfortunately, diet breakers!
Before I get going with the recipe, please, do take a peek at Rachel's blog. It's brilliant and here's the link http://eternally28.blogspot.co.uk/
Thanks so very much, Rachel, both for the recipe and for the permission to post it here.
The recipe . . .
Ingredients
6 oz SR flour
4oz marg
3oz sugar
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp ground ginger
half tsp bicarb
Method
Preheat oven to 180
Melt the syrup and marg together. Add the remaining ingredients and stir before going in with your hands. It makes a soft and rather oily dough which is easy to handle.
Roll into little balls and place on a non stick surface on a baking sheet. Flatten them slightly with the back of a fork.
Bake for 10 to 12 mins.
They flatten a bit and they crack. They look and taste fab. Go on - what are you waiting for?
Awww im chuffed you used it. Soooo simple and fabulous every time! The only time mine didn't work was when I tried to upmarket them n use butter - they were rubbish!! Aunts Olive would have turned in her grave!
