Howdy folks how is it going welcome to my virgin kitchen this is Chloe and she has just
turned up, can you say hello?
Hello!
So Chloe has turned up and I am about to go and pick Chloe up from school with you right,
but just before she got home from school I made ginger nuts.
Do you know what they are?
Yeah?
She is a bit shy because she has never been here before and like are there people here?
It is just me and you ok?
Alright!
So basically ginger nuts, they are like a nostalgic biscuit Chloe ok, when I was younger
growing up, obviously you are younger when growing up, ginger nuts were a really nostalgic
biscuit and if you had ginger hair, do you have ginger hair?
Yeah, no you do not!
If you had ginger hair ginger nuts became your nickname but anyhow they are super easy
to make if you want to have a go at making them hit pause on the video when Chloe claps
her hands!
Yes so the ingredients are now on the screen this is how you make ginger nuts (aka ginger
snaps).
So start to make these cookies, pre-heat your oven to 190c or equivalent ok yes thanks Chloe
so whilst that is warming up get yourself a big bowl where everything is going to come
together, start off by adding in your self raising flour and then your ginger which of
course you can tweak to your liking to add as much or little gingerness as you like.
What is the matter?
I am not a bit shy now!
Anyhow bicarbonate of soda goes in next and then give it an initial stir together and
for some reason that made me flare my nostrils and get quite excited whilst I was doing it,
sorry about that!
Is that alright with you?
Good.
So the next ingredient I added can you guess what that was Chloe?
Sugar, it was give me five!
She was not even here and knew I added sugar in there I did it confidently and did not
look at the bowl but do not do that as I very nearly did miss the bowl.
Get that stirred through, catalogue pose is optional.
Right I forgot to tell you a step, plonk your butter into a bowl and rub together with fingers
and thumbs to create crumbs.
Next up grab 2 tablespoons of what is this Chloe?
What is that?
Yeah I just asked you that!
2 tablespoons of golden syrup aka corn syrup.
Mix it with a spoon and it will start to come together.
Form it into a ball with your hands it will be kind of tacky but all good.
With my big ginger ball of dough made it was a case of dividing it up into smaller balls
so from that whole amount I managed to make 18 whole ginger nuts but roll them up into
small balls, put 9 on a baking tray until well spread apart, but as you will see they
do actually enlarge!
Bake that in your oven for around 12-15 mins until nice and golden brown and then allow
to cool and they will firm up a treat.
That is it then guys there is your biscuit, and I will have one too.
Ginger nut cookies or biscuits or snaps depending on where you live.
They taste absolutely phenomenal just like the real thing, did you like it?
Yes it tastes delicious so I hope you agree they look fantastic they smell fantastic,
the studio now smells of ginger!
Rather than paint which is good!
So check out my other 2 videos, say I love you, love you!
Ah see you next time!
