Food is comforting too

enitharmonIn case you thought I was a healthy food zealot (and nobody who knows me at all well would think so) let me say that I also made a batch of Ginger Nuts. I've heard it said that it's not worth making biscuits because bought ones are so good. I beg to differ - I am zealous in my resistance to factory food, and these home-made biscuits are quite different from anything in the supermarket.
You want the recipe don't you? Of course you do!
GINGER NUTS
500g self-raising flour
250g unsalted butter
150g golden syrup
125g soft brown sugar
100g chopped glacé ginger
4tsp ground ginger
1tsp bicarbonate of soda
Mix the flour, sugar, ground ginger and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl, making sure all lumps are removed.
Melt the butter and syrup together in a pan, then add to the mixture in the bowl. Add the glacé ginger and mix to a dough.
Pull off walnut-sized pieces of dough and roll them into a ball. Flatten them slightly between the palms, and place on a greased baking sheet with plenty of space between each one. Bake for 20 minutes at 150C.
You will probably have to bake the biscuits in batches.
