Ginger Cookies RecipeOrigin: Liberia Period: Traditional |
|
This is one of my wife's classic Liberian dishes. The recipe is presented here just as she makes it. However, in common with many Liberians she like a lot of ginger in her recipes and it may be over-powering for some tastes. Feel free to dial-back on the ginger if desired. Ingredients:
300g plain flour 
Ginger Cookies Preparation:Method:Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and grated ginger (along with any ginger liquid) and stir in. Add the egg and stir-in then add just enough water to bring the mixture together as a stiff dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured surface and roll out to about 5mm thick. Cut into rounds about 6cm in diameter with a pastry cutter or a knife. Place these rounds on a lightly-greased baking sheet. Place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C, baking for about 15 minutes or until the biscuits are firm and only very slightly browned. Remove from the oven and dust the top with coarse sugar then allow to cool on the baking trays for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. |
