Gingernut Biscuits
Gingernut biscuits are a staple in our house. My mam loves them as they are not too sweet and have a nice spice to them. They are really nice and crunchy and go perfect with a cup of tea of coffee. I made big biscuits out of this amount of dough, but you could definitely make them smaller if you prefer a thinner biscuit. Ginger is definitely a festive flavour and I’m so happy to finally be starting to make my Christmas recipes of the season.

Using a tablespoon scoop mixture and roll in your hand until ball is formed. Repeat until all dough it used up.
