GRANTHAM GINGERBREADS



Grantham Gingerbreads image

If you don't like ginger don't let the title put you off. These biscuits are light and crunchy with a hollow centre and only very faintly spiced. This British recipe comes from my 1960's Good Housekeeping- the book that taught me how to cook. The plain flour and baking powder can be replaced with 9oz self-raising flour if preferred, though I like to make my own.

  • Heat the oven to 150°C, fan 130°C, gas 2 and line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until crumbly and pale, then gradually mix in the egg.
  • Sift the flour and ginger into the bowl and combine to make a dry, sandy mixture. Taking about 2 tablespoons of mixture at a time, press firmly into small balls (2.5-3cm in diameter). Put them on the lined trays, spaced apart to allow for spreading (there’s no need to flatten them).
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until pale golden and risen with a crisp bottom, and lift easily from the paper. They should be hollow, with a honeycomb-like texture inside. Cool on a wire rack.
