My dad has 2 gingernut biscuits every day with his morning coffee. As a kid I never understood, why the gingernut? But now as an adult I can not get enough of these biscuits. These gingernut biscuits in particular are soft centred, crispy on the outside and packed full of ginger-y goodness.
Made with simple ingredients that can be found in most pantries, these biscuits are so simple to make. You could be eating fresh bickies straight from the oven in less than 30 minutes with this recipe! Less than 30 minutes! Have you gone running to the kitchen yet?
If you aren’t yet convinced, let me tell you that one of these biscuits is only 107 calories! For anyone tracking calories, you will be mighty happy with this news. A sweet afternoon tea snack that is not only easy to make but doesn’t break the calorie bank. Jackpot!
