Delicious Ginger Biscuits Recipe for a Sweet Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup molasses

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, baking powder, and baking soda.

    Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Add Egg and Molasses

    Beat in the egg and molasses into the butter-sugar mixture until well combined.

    Ensure the mixture is smooth before proceeding.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
  6. Shape the Dough

    Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave enough space between each ball to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake the Biscuits

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.

    Enjoy them warm for the best flavor.
