    This easy Ginger Nut Biscuits recipe makes a perfect afternoon tea or lunch box treat!

    Easy Ginger Nut Biscuit Recipe - Top View

    These Ginger Nut Biscuits are a big hit with my boys, and love having one added to their lunch boxes.  This recipe keeps really well (as long as you store the biscuits in an airtight container) and I find a batch can last up to five days in our house.

    You just need a few basic ingredients to make these biscuits: butter, golden syrup, flour, sugar, ginger and bicarb and you can be enjoying a still warm biscuit within around 40 minutes.

    I usually use a tablespoon to scoop up the biscuit mixture which makes around 24 biscuits, however you can also use a teaspoon to make smaller (and more) biscuits, however your cooking time will be a little less.

    To decorate, I lightly flatten the dough and then use a fork to make the criss cross pattern, of course you can leave you biscuit tops plain if you wish.

    Tips for Making These Ginger Nut Biscuits:

    • If your butter is not quite at room temperature then it will take longer to incorporate with the sugar and golden syrup.
    • Both the dough and the cooked biscuits can be frozen – store in the freezer for up to six weeks.
    • This recipe will make around 24 biscuits when you use a tablespoon to scoop up the mixture. You can make smaller or larger biscuits if you wish, however the cooking time will vary.
    • If you are making these biscuits in a warm climate and find the dough is too soft to roll, pop the mixture into the fridge fro 20 – 30 minutes to chill.
    • Before baking, I like to lightly flatten the tops of the biscuits and use the back of a fork to press down and make the criss cross pattern.
    • These biscuits will be soft when they first come out of the oven but will harden as they cool.
    • To store, keep the biscuits in an airtight container in your pantry.

      Seen this recipe a few weeks back and decided to make it today! Really tasty. First tray was in for 15 minutes but could have been less so for the last 2 trays I did 13 minutes and they were fine! I kind of like a crunchy well fired biscuit so I’ll be keeping the first tray all for me!

      Just made these. Super simple! I used 50g of coconut sugar in place of the sugar. Perfect amount of sweetness for us! Will make these again and again!
