Ginger Nuts image

Ginger nut biscuits, just like momma used to buy! Tastes and looks like the packet version, but obviously better because you can be smug with the knowledge you baked them yourself. Oh and it makes the house smell good. Recipe is from The Bhutan Cookbook put together by the VSO/VSA.
