Have I told you that I love ginger? Well I do. I love it in curry, I love it in crumbles and most of all I love it in biscuits! Open my cupboard and you'll notice, among all of the random tins and jars ginger is the most stocked item. Stem, chopped, crystallized, ground, then open my fridge and there's a little knobbly finger of the stuff. You see what I mean...
After my deceleration you'll be very surprised to hear that gingersnaps are my very favorite biscuit. After seeing it on the SMS list I've been itching to get them baked and right in my cookie jar, but these biscuits just weren't gingery enough for my palate. They needed something, they needed more! I added chopped stem ginger and a teaspoon of ginger syrup. Perfect. The stem ginger added that extra bite and made a good biscuit into an excellent one!
Check out Gloria's aptly named blog The Gingersnap Girl for the recipe and don't forget to check out the rest of the SMS bakers for their yummy treats.
