I visited my grandmother this weekend. She lives 6 hours drive away so it's not a regular occurrence. On Saturday morning I pulled one of her big recipe boxes out from the bottom cupboard and started sorting through her recipes and recipe books. There were handwritten ones and ones ripped from magazines, printed ones and photocopied ones - not to mention the 30 or so recipe books of varying size and theme. I bought a folder and some plastic sleeves and slipped them into the folder. There's a fair few in there but still some room for when I get a chance to sort through the second box. She claimed before that it was easy enough to look for the scrap of paper with the right recipe on it, but after flicking through the folder and seeing many she'd forgotten she had, she admitted that maybe this was a good plan.
In the process of doing this I found a mango cheesecake recipe in a Philadelphia Cream Cheese recipe book (will share soon) and my grandmother's ginger biscuit recipe.
Two more new recipes for February.
The biscuits were quick and easy and came out the of oven just a little bit crunchy.
Here's a photo of the recipe as I found it.
"Cream 4oz margarine, 8oz sugar, add one egg + 3 tbspns golden syrup then 12oz self raising flour sifted with 2 heaped tspns of ginger + 1 tspn bi-carb soda."
In addition to the above
Both the butter and the eggs were at room temp
Preheat a fan forced oven to 180C (356F) and cook biscuits for 20mins. Remove from oven and allow to cool a little before transferring to wire rack.
And the finished product. (Note to self: greater depth of field in the photo next time).
