Ginger Biscuits
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 15 min.
YIELD: 3 dozen.
My English cousin in Yorkshire sent me this old-fashioned recipe for buttery ginger cookies (or "biscuits" if you're British). You'll love the taste!
Ingredients
-
2-1/2 cups biscuit/baking mix or self-rising flour
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
Pinch salt
-
1/2 egg, beaten
-
1/2 cup corn syrup or maple syrup
-
1/4 cup butter, cubed
Directions
-
1.
In a bowl, combine baking mix or flour, sugar, ginger, soda and salt. Using hands, rub egg into mixture.
-
2.
In a saucepan, warm syrup and butter; stir into batter. Let stand for 3-4 minutes, then knead. Roll heaping teaspoonfuls into small balls. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
-
3.
Bake at 325° for 12-15 minutes. Cookies will flatten and "crackle" when done.
