Serves: 12
Ingredients
*For the Biscuits*
200g self raising flour
80g caster sugar
1 egg
zest & juice of 1 lemon
1-2 tsp ground ginger depending how spicy you like your ginger (I used 2!)
icing sugar for dusting
Water
*Decoration*
2 tbsp icing sugar
water
Instructions
Pre heat the oven to 200oC / 180oC
Place all of the ingredients apart from the water into a large bowl and mix
Add enough water to make a firm dough, and bring together with your hands
Dust a work surface with icing sugar and taking small pieces of the dough, which I found to be a little sticky so dust your hands with some icing sugar each time, roll into a sausage and then she into a pinwheel (or a Knot if you can do so successfully!)
Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper
Repeat until all the mixture has gone - you should make approx 12 biscuits
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes
Remove and cool before making some icing using he icing sugar and water, and decorate as you like and add some extra lemon zest
Keep in a tin - but be warned these biscuits do not stay fresh long - maybe 2 days.
