Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder sifted
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger sifted
  • ¾ cup caster sugar superfine
  • 3 eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup whole almonds blanched
  • ½ cup candied ginger chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 320.
  •  Place the flour, baking powder, ginger and sugar in a bowl and mix to combine.  Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until a dough forms.  Add the almonds and ginger and mix to combine.  Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.  (It can be quite crumbly, just keep mushing it together till it sticks together.) 
  • Halve and roll into 2x10in long logs and flatten slightly.  Placed on a lightly greased baking tray (leave a couple of inches between them.  Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • Allow to cool completely (personally I find I get more crumbles if I let them cool too long, I usually let them cool for 10 minutes).  Use a serrated knife to cut the logs into 3mm-thick slices, place on baking tray lined with parchment paper (I just place back on the same cookie sheet).  Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Allow to cool on tray.
