Ginger and Pecan Biscuits

I purchased a crohns diet guide from amazon (link below) and was desperate to try out some recipes. So this weekend we tried out the ginger quinoa biscuits, however we replaced the quinoa with plain flour. We also added dry pecan nuts on top to give more taste to them, however this can be whatever you prefer, such as walnuts, hazelnuts etc. After baking these, next time I will consider adding an orange water icing to drizzle on top to balance out the spice and sweet flavours. Below is the ingredients needed to make these as well as the method that is in the book. 















You will need:
Plain/quinoa flour
Ground Ginger
Bicarbonate of Soda
Ground Cinnamon
Ground Cloves
Fine Sea Salt
Brown sugar
Unsalted Butter
1 Egg

Method:

Preheat oven at 180'c

Gently mix together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, cloves and ginger together, ensuring everything is mixed well.

In another bowl whisk the sugar and egg, to create a smooth thick mixture.

Use a wooden spoon to mix in the flour mixture until well blended.

Leave to chill in the fridge for an hour.

Divide mixture into thirty 1 inch sized balls onto a baking tray. At this stage you can add on any toppings, such as dried fruit or nut.

Bake in the oven for 9-12, until the biscuits are golden brown.
