Oat Ginger Biscuits

Christmas baking is all about the fragrant spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. The warmth, aroma and seductive flavour of ginger means this spice is one of the most popular to get us into the Christmas mood. Grandma’s recipe for Oat Ginger Biscuits my favourite biscuit and it’s an easy treat to make.

Meryl says : These delicious biscuits make fantastic Christmas presents. Dip in melted chocolate, drizzle water icing or decorate with silver balls. Let your Christmas creative spirit run wild. For decorations, make a small hole with a skewer in the top of each biscuits prior to baking at the top of each biscuit.
