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.
@@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.
I just found your recipe (I love ginger biscuits!! ) and it looks so simple and delicious!!! 😋So I will make them for Christmas, sure my family will love them !! Thank you from France and have a lovely Christmas !!
Hi Jim thank you for such a wonderful video I've just found your channel and I made these they are great look forward to watching more blessings to you from Australia 😊
🇩🇿 merci Monsieur pour cette recette . ❤ Je viens de la faire mais j'ai mit trop de farine , ce ni pas le même résultat 😢😢 Mais j'ai appris une leçon : il faut bien suivre votre recette 😊 . je vais la refaire , elle bonne quand même .
I just dont know my measurements like grams, oven temp in Fahrenheit instead,could you help me with this. I really want to make these,im from United States,Pennsylvania. You make it sound so easy,your voice is very calming!!❤️❤️❤️ Like a grandpa!!😊
Hi Jim, can you substitute say... coconut flour ... or tapioca flour so they're suitable for Coeliac suffers who are allerfig to gluten? Then they'd be suitable for everyone. A lot of other recipes use golden or even dark treacle and brown sugar - what do you think? I quite fancy the sound of coconut and ginger cookies. I can't cook for toffee but you're quite good at this demonstration lark - so perhaps if you could make gluten free coconut and ginger biccies I could follow you. PS: Coconut makes things soft and fluffy - my pancakes practically float on air - so I've no idea what they'd do to your biccies.
Thank you grandpa❤

That's very kind of you !! Thank you !! 😊
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.

Thanks a lot
Most welcome

Thank you !! Best wishes from Yorkshire !!
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 !! 😊
Nice
Thanks !!
Thanx Papa
Interesting
Can l use lcing sugar instead of sugar
Icing Sugar has cornflour in it. So it's better to use Granulated Sugar, or Demerara Sugar!!
Where is the written recipe?
And where can l get gingger
Most supermarkets should sell Ground Ginger. Thanks!!
ممكن المقادير
👍👍👍👍
Thank you jimmy you are astar
No baking powder?
It's in the self rising flour already
Delisious
I have a complaint about these Ginger biscuits, they are addictive, I just made some, and can't stop eating them!
You need 190 grams of flour!!
