I think is very good, and some of your receipes are very good to fellow cause i don't know how to bake so its easy for me to do 1 step at a time.

Great recipe, I too add fresh crushed ginger for that extra zing. Watch how much flour you use, weigh the flour, I cup of flour is 125g, so use about 410g flour.

I think they've adjusted the recipe based on feedback from other reviews. It's July 2020 and I've followed the recipe exactly. We now make these almost weekly. Deliciously chewy, great depth of flavour, perfect with a cuppa or in the lunchbox.

Followed the recipe totally and these were terrible. Dry and tasteless. Wish I had read the other reviews first!

Not worth the effort but ate them all anyway.

These are lovely biscuits. I used about 1/2 cup less flour and I thought they were not too crumbly.

We didn't like the biscuits so we changed the recipe. We added an extra 50g of butter, 1 egg, and 50g more sugar so make the biscuits sweeter, and more chewy. Using our recipe we found them to be very delicious as a hearty afternoon tea snack with any drink. Great consistency as they crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside as we only cooked them for 8-10 mins. They are ideal for the whole family, as it was gobbled down by our extended family. Hope to make these again and improve the recipe once again.

A very nice, plain biscuit. Ideal for dunking in a cup of tea.

I had to add an extra 50g of melted butter to the the mixture because it was too crumbly and would not hold together.

Because I love ginger I added a tablespoon of finely-chopped crystallised ginger to the mixture to make it really gingery.
