Our ‘go to’ morning tea biscuit treat – these biscuits are reminiscent of ginger-cake but in biscuit form – and we love them…
Ingredients
- 30g root ginger (peeled and finely minced)
- 100g butter
- 50g brown sugar
- 30g golden syrup
- 50g self-raising flour
- 50g plain flour
- 100g oats
- A pinch of salt
Start by mincing the ginger. It needs to be quite fine; but if you like ginger bits in your biscuits, it is fine to leave some larger chunks.
Place the butter, brown sugar, golden syrup and ginger into a pan and gently warm over a low heat until all melted and mixed together.
In a separate bowl, weigh out the flours and oats and add the pinch of salt. Mix these together.
Pour the melted ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together.
Using your hands (and this is a bit sticky) roll the mixture into small balls (this quantity should make about 14 balls) and place them onto a greased baking tray.
Now, press each ball down gently (use your hands – they are already sticky) to form the biscuit shape.
And, bake these at 170C for about 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and leave them on the baking tray for another 10 minutes.
Move them to a cooling rack and try to let then cool a little before diving in. Yum.
Oo they look very tasty 🙂 . I must try them 🙂
Thanks for the recipe x
Let me know how you get on… post a photo! 🙂
I’m having difficulty getting plain flour at the moment but as soon as I do, I’ll make them. Thank you
Good luck getting the flour. Do let me know how you get on with these biscuits.
Note: You can use 100g of self-raising flour (instead of the half and half); it makes them even more cake-like 🙂
The ginger biscuit recipe is easy and delicious. Perfect with our morning coffee. Thanks x
Just made the ginger biscuits – delicious. I would post a picture but don’t know how to!
