Best Biscuit Recipe, with ginger - no rolling-pin method

[@colinwood495]

Hi Jim, Since my last comment I've now baked a few batches of these excellent biscuits all turning out very well indeed. I've just baked more; now I add a TBS of vanilla extract and also add a full glace cherry on top; they are delicious. I use "Pure" dairy free margarine bought from Morrison's and I've found 125g of self raising flour works for me saving adding a bit more flour to thicken the mix. I'm using a fan oven and at 140C let the biscuits bake for 35 minutes giving a crusty top but once stored in a sealed container they soften up. I use a large baking tray lined with a silicone non stick sheet and using a 55mm ice cream scoop the mix makes just six but large biscuits; my wife and I love these I scoff a full biscuit but my wife cuts one in half. I've also made these with currants. I'm new to baking so like to experiment a bit. Last Monday I also cooked my first ever cottage pie using your method & recipe; it turned out so well every Monday dinner time in future will be cottage pie time. Thanks so much for both recipes both are so easy to make. Kind regards, Colin.

Hi were they crunchie in the middle? Thanks

[@colinwood495]

@@paulkazjack Hi Paul, Thanks for asking and sorry for the delay in replying. No not crunchie on the inside but nice and firm on the outside; they are lovely and tasty without breaking teeth. 😀 Why not bake some to try them; you won't be disappointed.

WOW Jim just absolutely wonderful; I'm 75 and just started baking; my two lots of "Oaties" would break a jackhammer but these ginger biscuits have come out perfectly in fact I've just scoffed one and so has my wife; they've got a lovely bite to them; thanks so much for your excellent informative video and brilliant recipe. Kindest regards, Colin.

If everyone is wondering where the baking powder or baking soda is. It's in the self rising flour.

That what I was thinking (wondering) about. Thanks to both of you.

Hi Jim, can you use fresh ginger instead of the powder? Or would this not work? Just found your channel and I really like your videos ❤

Powdered Ginger will produce a better biscuit. Thanks for the question !! 😊

Can l use lcing sugar instead of sugar

[@CookingwithOldJim]

Icing Sugar has cornflour in it. So it's better to use Granulated Sugar, or Demerara Sugar!!

[@bikerpeople548]

I have a complaint about these Ginger biscuits, they are addictive, I just made some, and can't stop eating them!

[@lorraineshai2995]

No baking powder?

[@lilyleung2237]

It's in the self rising flour already

[@paulkazjack]

You need 190 grams of flour!!
