About the Gingernut recipe

Asked on 12 Mar 2021 by killjoy

When making the ginger biscuits I always have trouble rolling the mixture into small balls as it crumbles and doesn't bind together.

Thanks
John

Hello John,

It sounds like you are not combining the ingredients enough before you attempt to roll the biscuits. Mix the ingredients and then use your hand to form the dough by squeezing the mixture with your hand and pushing it against the side of the bowl until you have a smooth dough that holds together. Then divide the mixture and roll into balls.

Kind regards 

Lindsey
