A Conversation for Biscuit Recipes

Ginger Biscuits

I think I've remembered this right (from memory of something I came up with once)

Two thick slices of brown bread, turned into breadcrumbs (hooray for food processors),
Six tablespoons of flour,
Three tablespoons of lard/margarine/low-fat spread,
Three tablespoons of butter,
Three tablespoons honey,
Two tablespoons brown sugar,
An inch of fresh ginger, finely grated,
A teaspoon of mixed spice,
Half a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

Put blobs on a baking tray. Cook at what sounds like a sensible temperature (I think I used gas mark 7) until golden brown (I think it took about 20-25 minutes). Once cooled the biscuits should be slightly soft, with a pleasant gingery taste (which is really helped by the pepper). If they don't seem quite right then I've gotten the amount of something wrong, but I think this is right.

A dash or two of Henderson's relish is good in them too, despite this being a sweet recipe.
