Marc's Musings

The meat pie was going so easily, I decided to make some ginger nuts too. I’d had some while in New Zealand last fall. Had to sort of gnaw on them.

These were very similar!

This Blokes Who Bake recipe required a lot of conversion from the metric system, so I was grateful for The Metric Kitchen.

Here’s how the recipe came out:

1/4 lb butter (1 stick)
1 1/4 C sugar
1 egg
1 T golden syrup
2 C flour (The recipe called for a bit more so I rounded the second cup)
1 tsp baking soda
4 tsp ginger

It was pretty easy. The butter and sugar get creamed with egg.

Not having “golden syrup,” I mix 2 teaspoons of light corn syrup and 1 teaspoon of molasses.

The rest get blended together. The dough is then rolled into balls and put on a cookie sheet.

They baked at 350F for 25 minutes.

Out of the oven they were nice and soft. And within minutes, they’d hardened to a hearty crunch. Very nice with one of my remaining Elf Warmer Christmas Ales!
