Go Nuts About My Gingernuts Food

GINGERNUTS

Steps:

• In a medium to large size pot slowly melt the first four ingredients (butter, sugar, golden syrup and milk) stirring constantly until all are blended together. Don't worry about dissolving every last bit of sugar.
• Remove from heat and then add baking soda and stir until dissolved. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 150°C.
• Sift in the flour and ginger and mix well. The mixture will be quite loose.
• Roll into small balls and put onto a baking tray. Flatten with the heel of the hand, allowing room for spreading.
• Bake in a slow oven, 150C - 13-15 minutes. I bake these on the rack above the middle of the oven. Simply because my oven tends to be a bit hot on the bottom.

GINGER NUTS

Steps:

• Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup over a low heat.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Add beaten egg and dry ingredients.
• Mix well and leave in a cool place to harden.
• Roll into small balls and place on a greased baking tray (they will expand so place accordingly).
• Press down a little with the back of a fork.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes in a moderate oven, around 180c.

GINGERNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C/ 170 (fan) °C/ gas 5 and grease several baking sheets.
• Sift together the flour, sugar, ginger and bicarbonate of soda with a pinch of salt.
• Over a low heat, melt together the butter and syrup, then pour over the flour mixture. Add the egg and orange rind and mix thoroughly into a dough.
• With your hands, shape the dough into around 30 individual, even-sized balls.
• Slightly flatten each ball before placing (spaced well apart) onto the baking sheets and baking for 15-20 minutes.

GINGERED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine nuts, candied ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and sesame seeds. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium-high. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves, 3 minutes.
• Pour sugar syrup over nut mixture and toss well to combine. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until nuts are golden, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack before breaking into bite-size pieces.
