unusual recipe but ok results

A question!! So is the revised amount of butter 200gms or 150gms? Cant wait to make them!! Thanks

I can’t understand all of the reviews claiming it is a crumbly mixture I made it to the recipe with the 200grms butter and it was an easy dough to roll into balls and once baked to there golden brown colour and then cooled down they were a great ginger nut will be making again fo sure.

Was so tasty, but the mixture was so crumbly!

Great, Tasted so good and where really chewy when out of the oven and then hardened

Very dry mixture and end result was just okay unfortunately.

The mix was too crumbly so I put it into a slice tin and I pressed it down to make a ginger nut slice instead.

Too much butter in this one, very greasy biscuits. The crumbly mixture everyone complains of is a result of insufficient liquid as binder not butter.

Mixture quite crumbly and hard to make nice balls, so rolled out with rolling pin and did round cookie cutter shapes instead. Worked perfectly, and resulted with perfectly round, crisp, crunchy ginger nut. Will use rolling pin method for whole recipe next time.

Hi, my wife and I can't agree on the measurements.
The amount of flour to me looks like 3 x 1/2 cups. Whereas my wife claims it is 3 full cups and 1/2 cup.
My argument is if that is the case should it be 1 x 1/2 cup of sugar, wife said 1 full cup and 1/2 cup
Can you help.....
CHELSEA: apologies for the confusion. It is 3.5 cups.

is this supposed to be so crumbly?

This recipe turned out great (with 200g butter), but you have to press the dough into small rounds rather than rolling between hands to avoid it crumbling. They also didn't spread as much as I expected so I flattened the second batch a bit more. I also added 1ts cinnamon, 1/2 ts cardamom and 1/4 ts each cloves and nutmeg as I like a more interesting flavour. The dough also tastes yummy raw, I can just imagine it stirred into vanilla icecream (cookie dough icecream, anyone?)

Perfect. This made lovely ginger crisp biscuits.

My mixture was also very crumbly. Towards the end I had to have wet hands to roll the mixture into balls. Fingers crossed they still taste great.

A family favourite, they were very good,especially to have with a cup of tea.

Very nice

they where the best I've ever had.

I followed this recipe very carefully and the resulting mix was a dry crumble. There was no way I could roll any of it into balls let alone press with a fork! I have however flattened it all into a tin with the hope that it makes a ginger crunch type of thing. Any idea what I may have done wrong? Thank you :)
CHELSEA: thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear these gingernut biscuits didn't work out for you. We hope the end result still tasted good! We have reviewed the recipe and increased the butter by 50g to make the mixture easier to roll.
