So for today's post, it's a new addition to my blog, a food related post! Since I was young, I've always been involved with cooking in my house, whether it was helping to prepare dinner or making it myself, I've always enjoyed cooking! So I wanted to share with you all a recipe for some yummy biscuits I made earlier this week!
So let's get started!
You will need...
275g of Plain Flour
1 large table spoon of Ground Ginger
1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
3/4 of teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/4 of teaspoon Salt
125g of Butter, softened
200g of Caster Sugar
1 medium Egg
1 tablespoon of Water
4 tablespoons of Golden Syrup
2 tablespoons of Caster Sugar
Icing Sugar
Step 1 - Preheat your oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4. Sift together the flour, ginger, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt, in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2 - Add the butter into a small bowl and soften in the microwave for 20/30 seconds.
Step 3 - Add the egg, golden syrup and water into the dry ingredients.
Step 4 - Mix together and add the softened butter to the mixture.
Step 5 - Combine all the ingredients until you get a solid mixture. If it is a little too wet, just add some extra plain flour.
Step 6 - Roll the biscuit mixture into small balls, roll in some caster sugar, and place on a lined baking tray.
Step 7 - Place into the oven and cook for 10 - 12 minutes.
Step 8 - Whilst your biscuits are cooking, combine some Icing Sugar and Water into a paste for the glaze.
Step 9 - After the biscuits are cooked, transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
Step 10 - Complete the biscuits by drizzling over the iced glaze and enjoy with a lovely cup of tea!
If you cant finish all these tasty biscuits in one sitting, place them in a biscuit tin or tupperware box, and keep tightly sealed to keep fresh!
Have you done any baking over the festive season? Would my recipe be something you might try out? What are your favourite biscuits to bake?
