Ginger biscuits without ginger!?!

or, as I call them, "biscuits".

My first post on OS for bloody months, and that's how helpful it was.

anyway hello everyone.

Well done for having a go. At least you didn't actually make the biscuits without the ginger. Last week I actually made banana bread without the bananas:o It tasted like madeira cake and was really nice. I made it again this week with the bananas:T and it was lovely too. Tonight I have made fudge and it even tastes like fudge:j I am amazing myself with my achievements since finding this board:beer:

The ginger is just the flavouring not the substance of the biscuit. use your basic recipe to experiment.

Instead of ginger try; mixed spice, cinnamon, lemon zest, orange zest, vanilla extract.

Leave out the spice and try one or more of these; coconut, chopped nuts, preserved ginger, glacé cherries, dried apricots, sunflower seeds, choc chips, raisins.

Try replacing some of the flour with cocoa for chocolate biscuits.

Have fun:)

As I said - no experience whatsoever of baking before so I wasn't sure what was the best thing to do!

Am pleased with the raisin recipe though. :-0

i have made ginger bread men without ginger before. i used all spice as they were still yummy. i think sometimes the best bit about cooking is trying different things and learning to adapt a recipe . it really is quite good fun.
