These bitey ginger biscuits are make with olive oil in place of butter, and flavoured with honey and walnuts.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups self-raising flour
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon rind
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped walnuts
Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Grease and line 3 large baking trays with baking paper.
- Step 2Sift flour, ginger, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl. Make well in centre. Add oil, ½ cup honey, vanilla, egg and lemon rind. Mix well to combine. Stand for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Step 3Roll 2 level teaspoons of mixture into a ball and flatten. Press 1 side into walnuts. Place, walnut-side up, on prepared tray. Repeat with remaining mixture and walnuts. Bake, 1 tray at a time, for 10 minutes or until golden.
