I cooked these these this morning as a warm up for a serious cake baking attempt and they were well worth it. Light, crisp and just the right hint of cinnamon as you finish.

Ginger Biscuits
My nana loved ginger, she’d always have a box of the candied version to have a nibble from. While I couldn’t come at that I did love ginger nut biscuits – as a kid I could literally eat a packet.

The first batch I put in at the top of the oven and it was too hot, While not burnt they …
A Taste Of Texas Via Washington
It’s the little things in life that make you smile. This morning I had my first follower on twitter for @tonybakes which is pretty cool. But even better, this follower – the wonderful Joan – has sent me a recipe to try. It’s an American recipe in a couple of senses. Apart from coming from Texas via Washington it has what I would consider to be very American flavours and ingredients; spices and Cranberry in a biscuit, or cookie given where it comes from. Here it would probably be served more as a slice so that’s what I’ll do. It’s now on the agenda for the next week. Thanks Joan, …
