It’s time you ditched the store-bought ginger biscuits and dunked our triple ginger biscuits in a delicious cup of tea instead.

INGREDIENTS
2 ½ cups flour

⅓ cup candied ginger, finely chopped

4. Fold in the candied and grated ginger.
5. Add the dry ingredients and use your hands to bring the dough together. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
