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.

  • With a teaspoon an a very clean finger, evenly place a heaped teaspoon full of the mixture on a lined baking sheet, approximately 1 inch apart.
  • Flatten the dough slightly by gently patting with a palette knife dipped in water.
  • Dredge the biscuits with a very light dusting of granulated sugar(Optional).

The ginger flavor in these biscuits is perfect. It's not too strong or too weak. It's just right.

These ginger nut biscuits are absolutely delicious! They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a wonderful gingery flavor. I love that they are gluten-free, so I can enjoy them without feeling guilty.
