I’ve just discovered this recipe - I’m a late starter. Late to biscuit making, too. I didn’t grow up with a family who ever made biscuits. We just bought them, the grocer counted them out from a big Arnotts tin of Mixed. I’ve always believed I can’t bake, but now in the very eve of turning 80, I think I’ll pluck up my courage and give these a try, Jill. I think you wrote this for me, and you’ve made it sound possible.
And a million thanks for using the perfectly good word ‘crisper’. Why oh why do so many recipe writers say ‘crispy’ or ‘crispier’?
One of my favourite biscuits...ginger nut.. can you buy them anymore? I guess even if you can they won’t taste like they did when I was growing up. Yep, the best way is to make your own! Thank you for your interpretation. 👏👏

Thank you, and cheers,

Thank you Dawn - never too late to start baking a good biscuit. Go for it!
Complete winner material! They sound divine!
You deserve #1 fan status with this corker. Thank you!
Terry’s dedication to duty is to be commended
Made these and they are so good, perfect ginger nut texture! But nicer buttery taste. I used honey because I didn’t have golden syrup, no problem.
Thanks Barb, that's good to know!
Loved this - put a smile on my face and a giggle in my head, plus a keenness to make and eat these 'Matilda' biscuits. Go Jill!
Weekend treats sorted ❤️
