Having had such a wonderful sunny day on the boat yesterday, it is so wet today that thought I would have a go at making ginger nuts. I was quite pleased with how these tasted even though I only had sugar free maple syrup on board and I forgot to add the bicarb (must be getting old). It says in original non low carb version that it makes 3 dozen but I did half the recipe below and made 9 but they were quite thick! Original recipe was from Allrecipes website. Ingredients Makes: 3 dozen biscuits (so it says) 225g (8 oz) fibre flour (ultra fine) 110g (4 oz) granulated sweetener, I used Erythritol 3 tsp baking powder 1 heaped teaspoon ground ginger or however much you like Cinnamon to taste (optional) 110g (4 oz) butter 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (I forgot it and they still seemed fine) Small amount of warmed milk 2 tablespoons sugar free golden syrup, warmed in pan, then slightly cooled 1 Mix together flour, baking powder, sweetener, ginger and cinnamon. 2 Rub in butter 3 Add bicarbonate of soda 4 Add dry ingredients to syrup and add a little warmed milk a tsp at a time if needed to pull together into a ball 5 Make walnut sized balls of dough, place on a baking sheet, flatten a bit and bake at 180 degrees C or gas mark 4 for 15 to 18 minutes, or slightly less in a fan oven but check after 10 mins. 6 Biscuits are cooked when cracked on top and golden brown.
It's always fun experimenting in the kitchen, especially on rainy days! Your ginger nuts look delicious, and it’s impressive that you improvised with sugar-free maple syrup. Speaking of unexpected situations, it reminds me of how crucial it is to be prepared for things like pre-employment drug screening. Just like having the right ingredients can make or break a recipe, knowing what to expect in a drug screening process is essential for success.
