Week 10: Ginger Biscuits
GBBO 2017 has finally ended, with (spoiler alert!) Sophie being crowned the winner! This week's technical challenge was Prue's Ginger Bisuits. Perhaps more simplistic that one might expect for the series' final technical challenge, however, the complex design the bakers were expected to produce within the short space of time given upped the difficulty level quite considerably. I got my recipe from the GBBO website this week. It took roughly 45mins of hands on time, 1 hour of cooling time, and 10 mins of cooking time. ...and then about 2 hours to decorate! Ingredients 150g butter 100g light muscovado sugar 2 tsp molasses 3 tbsp beaten egg 225g plain flour ¾ tsp bicarbonate of soda 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground ginger ¼ tsp salt ¼ tsp ground cloves 3 large egg whites 750g icing sugar 1 tsp lemon juice Blue, yellow, green, red colour paste Ginger Biscuits 1) Lightly grease 2 baking sheets with butter 2) Beat the butt
