Ginger Sable Biscuits

6th October 2011 By Urvashi Roe

Ginger is one of those wierd and wonderful foods that works well in savoury and sweet.  This is a super easy biscuit.  Especially if you do what I do and don’t bother with the rolling!  I made these to eat with Lemon Posset from Valentine Warner’s book ‘The Good Table’.

You’ll need

  • 100g soft unsalted butter
  • 100g golden caster sugar
  • 150g plain flour
  • 1 egg
  • 60g finely choped stem ginger.  I used Waitrose Chinese Stem Ginger in Syrup

To make them

  1. Prehat the oven to 180C and grease and line 4 baking trays.
  2. Mix the butter and sugar together til soft and creamy. I used my Kitchenaid with its paddle attachment.
  3. Add the egg and blitz til it’s mixed in.
  4. Gently mix in the flour and chopped stem ginger til you get a soft dough.
  5. Break off 15g dollops of dough and roll them into little balls.
  6. Flatten then to make a disc shape, place them on a baking tray and bake for approx 7-10 minutes until lightly brown.
