The perfect dunking Gingernut biscuit made in only ONE pot!
Crinkly on top. Hard outer to avoid crumbling. Soft inside.
What more do you want in a gingernut?!
I created this biscuit as part of a partnership with Swanndri. My brief was a robust recipe that compliments the legacy of Swanndri. New Zealand iconic farming essentials. Robust and enduring garments that stand the test of time.
The biscuit is designed to be nice and crunchy on the outside and deliciously soft on the inside. So you can pop it in your Swanndri top pocket and it’ll stay in one piece.
Carry it with you for a week and it’ll still taste great when you discover it!
Dunk it into your tea made from a thermos on the hill while you wait for the other musters to catch up. Share it with your horse or your favourite huntaway dog.
And our stock manager Sam swears there’s nothing better than placing a piece of cheese between two biscuits (I’m yet to try this out).
Does this recipe use a lot of equipment?
No – JUST ONE POT!
How easy is that!
You will need:
Butter
Castor sugar (regular white sugar will work fine too)
Brown sugar
Golden syrup
An egg
Flour (plain)
Ground ginger
Ground nutmeg
Salt
Baking soda
Do I squish the biscuit dough down?
No – don’t squish them down. Just flatten slightly with a clean hand. A gentle push on top of each biscuit.
