Ginger Nut BiscuitLooking for a biscuit recipe with a bit of nutty crunch, then why not try this. Uses ground ginger and golden syrup for the flavour. Bake until golden brown, cool and enjoy with one with a cup of tea or fresh coffee.

Try serving a couple with ice cream as a quick simple dessert.

Ingredients:

Plain flour - 285g / 10oz
Sugar - 200g / 7oz (½ caster sugar, ½ soft brown)
Bicarbonate of soda - 5ml / 1 tsp
Ground ginger - 10 ml / 2 tsp
Baking powder - 7.5 ml / 1 ½ tsp
Butter or margarine - 170g / 6 oz
Golden syrup or clear honey - 15ml / 1 tbsp
Milk - 30 ml / 2 tbsp

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 170°C / 325°F / Gas Mark 3.

Place all the dry ingredients in mixing bowl.

Melt the butter and syrup over a gentle heat, making sure it does not boil. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, add the milk and mix thoroughly.

Shape into about 36 small balls and place on greased baking sheets (or a non-stick baking liner), spaced well apart and then flatten slightly. The cooked biscuits spread to about 5 cm (2″) across.

Bake for 16 - 18 minutes until browned. Leave to cool on the tray.

Serving suggestion: Try one with a cup of tea or fresh coffee. Can also be served with ice cream as a dessert.
