I've been baking, sewing and glueing up a storm today for a certain baby shower I'm helping put together for tomorrow.
While I can't reveal my sewing adventures, I can tell you that these are seriously the best biscuits EVER.
Grandma's ginger biscuits. Part of the anzacs/shortbread/ginger biscuits trio (family you know what this means). I've no idea where her recipe came from, but they are AWESOME. Dunk these babies in a cup of tea and see what I'm talking about.
And since it's Friday, I'll share the recipe with you...written exactly as she wrote it out for me.
GRANDMA'S GINGER BISCUITS:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups plain flour
- 5 teaspns ground ginger
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 125g melted butter or margarine
- 2/3 cup honey
Method:
- Place dry ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine
- Melt honey and butter/marg in a small saucepan until bubbling
- Add to dy ingredients and mix well
- Place teaspoon sized amounts onto a greased tray
- Place in oven set to 200 degrees c
- Bake for 10 mins then change trays on shelves
- Bake for another 5 - 10 mins
Note from Grandma - if cooked too long they go very hard. Be careful on your teeth.
Note from me - bear in mind this recipe needs a little alteration for fan forced or hot ovens like mine.
Yum. Enjoy!
These look so yum, perfect for the christmas season upon us. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

ReplyDeleteI can't find where i've written down her gingernuts - i use a different recipe but yes i have fond memories of that trio AND morning coffee bics :) I have her shortbread bics recipe too but they always crumble heaps. EVERY time i make them though everyone raves about them :)
ReplyDeleteI was always amazed that she baked them weekly, I always knew what I would find in those tupperware containers :-)
