Stem Ginger Biscuits

I’ve made a new recipe for stem ginger biscuits.  Great for anyone who has some leftover stem ginger like I did!

Make around 18-20 biscuits.

• 8oz butter
• 5oz caser sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 10oz plain flour
• 2 balls of stem ginger very finely chopped

1. Cream together the butter and sugar.
2. Beat in the yolk, then add the ginger and mix until the ginger is well dispersed.
3. Add the flour gradually until a dough forms.
4. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the fridge for 1 hour at least.
5. Once chilled; pre heat the oven 190 degrees / gas mark 5, roll out the dough between two pieces of greaseproof paper (the dough will be sticky), then cut out the shapes you want. Place them on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake for 10-15 minutes. 

Once cooked, transfer to a wire rack to cool. 

I decided to practice some Batman icing runouts on mine.

Update

It’s been a while since I’ve written a new post. A lot had happened in the year since my last post. Here’s a few cakes I’ve made.

Jurassic Park made form gingerbread.

I've tried out making my own cardboard templates for ducting icing sugar on to cakes.
