WICKLEWOOD'S GINGER NUT BISCUITS (GLUTEN FREE)



Wicklewood's Ginger Nut Biscuits (Gluten Free) image

I was so pleased with these tasty classic biscuits. The texture is just like that of a non gluten free Ginger Nut, and as any coeliac knows it's the texture that usually suffers in adapting recipes. The recipe calls for 1lb 4oz of flour, however, this system doesn't like mixing pounds and ounces,,,hence "20oz flour."For a more authentic touch sprinkle some sugar on the dough just before baking.

Time 40m

Yield Makes 12-15 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 10

100g caster sugar
100g unsalted butter, softened
1 egg, beaten
200g gluten-free plain flour, plus extra for dusting
50g cornflour
½ tsp xanthan gum
¼ tsp fine sea salt
handful of dark chocolate chips (optional)
½ lemon or orange, zested (optional)
demerara sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Beat the sugar and butter together in a large bowl until pale and smooth using an electric whisk. Pour in the egg, a little at a time, whisking well after each addition. Tip in the flour, cornflour, xanthan gum and salt, and beat again. (If using chocolate chips or citrus zest, stir this in now.) Flatten the dough into a disc in the bowl, then cover and chill for 1 hr.
  • Put the chilled dough between two sheets of baking parchment and roll out to 1cm thick. Using a 6cm cutter, stamp out as many biscuits as you can, arranging them on the tray with space between them. Re-roll the offcuts and repeat until all the dough has been used (you should get 12-15 biscuits). Chill for 30 mins.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. If you like, sprinkle the biscuits with a little demerara sugar, then bake for 8-10 mins until golden and firm at the edges. Leave to cool on the tray for 2-3 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies to hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps to ensure that the cookies are all uniform in size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature helps to create a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
