Ginger marmalade biscuits - Real Recipes from Mums

These biscuits are reasonably plain, that is, they are not too sweet, but they have a short-texture with just a hint of Buderim Ginger Naked Ginger finished with a glistening crown of Buderim Ginger Ginger Lemon & Lime Marmalade.

Recipe courtesy of Buderim Ginger

Ingredients (makes 30 biscuits)

200g butter, softened at room temperature
1/4 cup pure icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
60g Buderim Ginger Naked Ginger, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups unbleached or regular plain flour
1/4 cup cornflour
1/4 cup custard powder
1/3 cup Buderim Ginger Ginger Lemon & Lime Marmalade

Method

Preheat oven to moderately hot [190°C].
Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until pale in colour and creamy.
Add chopped Buderim Ginger Naked Ginger and beat a further 1 minute.
Sift flour, cornflour and custard powder together. Add to creamed butter mixture beat carefully at this point as mixture will resemble coarse breadcrumbs. Using fingertips to gently knead dough into a ball.
Divide mixture into 30 even portions, form into balls and place onto a non stick baking paper lined baking tray about 5mm a part. Using a small bottle top about 22 to 25mm diameter [I used a lidded vanilla bottle up-side down], press down gently, but firm creating a reasonably deep indentation; fill each indentation with a teaspoonful of Ginger Lemon & Lime Marmalade.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes turning tray around if necessary half way through baking, until firm and a light brown in colour.
Remove from oven, cool on tray on a wire rack for about 5 minutes then transfer to wire cake rack to finish cooling. Immediately cooled, store in airtight container.

Notes

You can substitute Buderim Ginger Ginger Lemon & Lime Marmalade with Buderim Ginger Original Ginger Marmalade. A standard Australian Metric 250mL cup & 20mL tablespoon measuring sets are used. New Zealand Metric tablespoon measure = 15mL or 3 teaspoons

This is a nice combination of adult flavours. Sometimes I tire of baking to my children’s tastes.

Oh yum. My kids aren’t a fan of marmalade but I love the Budgerim marmalades. Haven’t seen the ginger lemon and lime one so will be on the look out for it next time I’m in the shops.

Some, especially young children may not like ginger. You could perhaps subsititute it with orange or lemon…or even another fruit. A lot don’t particularly like lime either. You could perhaps use a little powdered ginger in the biscuit mixture. That way you can adjust it to your taste.

  That is a great Idea to substitute with another fruit as my girls are not really fond of ginger either.
