Hi Friends, here’s another biscuit recipe that I found easy to do and uses ingredients that I already had at home in my pantry and fridge. It took only 15 minutes preparation time , including grounding the whole cloves with a wooden rolling pin. The dough has to stay in the fridge for a minimum two hours but I left it in overnight just through laziness. I couldn’t be bothered to cook late in the afternoon when I knew I would be starting dinner soon.
My Gingersnaps looked so much darker than the ones in the recipe book. According to the description, they are suppose to be hard and ‘snap’. Mine didn’t snap the way that I expected them too, either. I thought maybe I needed to cook them for longer than the recipe, but that just made them browner with no more ‘snap’ than the first tray. I feel like this is a recipe I need to change some of the measurements to make it more dry. Maybe I could reduce the butter or golden syrup. Perhaps you could try the recipe and let me know.
Despite the lack of crunch, they were very tasty and remind me of Christmas (thinking about gingerbread men). I hope they keep in the jar until our Women’s Shed return. I don’t want to have to eat them all!
I have the recipe available here as a PDF so you can download and print it. That will make it easier for you when you are baking.
