Crunchy on the outside, slightly chewy in the middle, with a subtle kick of ginger.
These biscuits remind me of the sunny days of my childhood. That’s the thing about food, it takes you back to places, and I clearly remember my lovely mum bringing these out for my sister and I, fresh from the oven when we were playing in the garden after school. In fact, this recipe is adapted from the hand-written recipe that my sister had written out and posted to me whilst I was at university – I must have been craving the comfort food from home.
Whilst these are not healthy, they are allergy-free; made from natural ingredients and I promise your kitchen will smell heavenly.
