Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 150C/fan 130C/gas 2.
  • Melt the butter, and mix in the beaten egg. (margarine can be used instead of the butter, but they do lose some of the melt in the mouth quality).
  • Mix together the dry ingredients, and then add the butter/egg mix. Make sure these mix thoroughly, it may be necessary to use your hands.
  • Shape the resulting dough into small balls roughly 2cm across.
  • Place WELL APPART on a thoroughly greased tray, (About 6 on an average sized tray) and bake for 20-25 mins. (If they are still a bit pale after this, turn the oven up a fraction to brown them slightly).
  • Leave to cool completely on the tray.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Make sure your butter is cold before you start baking. This will help the biscuits to be more flaky.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the biscuits to hold their shape.
  • Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven. This will help them to rise evenly.
  • Don't overbake the biscuits. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These dark ginger biscuits are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are delicious, easy to make, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and spicy snack, give these biscuits a try. You won't be disappointed!
