Ginger biscuits anyone?

Its been a while since my last post, I have been unwell, and although still not completely better, I am using cooking as my therapy (well that's my excuse anyway).  I really wanted to make some ginger biscuits, both me and hubby love a good ginger biscuit to dunk in a cup of tea but you can't find one vegan and gluten free.  I like playing around with ingredients to see what happens and this one came out great first time.



VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE GINGER BISCUITS

50gm cornflour
75gm soft light brown sugar
75gm gram flour
75gm dairy free spread (I used pure sunflower)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp water

Mix all the ingredients (except the water) together until it resembles breadcrumb consistency.  Add the water and mix to form a dough.  Knead well to make sure everything is mixed in.  This will result in a fairly wet dough but don't worry about that.
Use gram flour to flour your work surface and rolling pin and roll out the dough to about 1/2cm thick.  Use plenty of gram flour to stop it sticking.  Use a biscuit cutter (shape is up to you) to cut the dough into shapes or rounds and place on a well greased baking tray.  Be careful when you are doing this as the dough will still be fairly wet so I use a blunt knife to help it along.
Pop in the oven for 20 minutes at 160 degrees C.
Once cooked leave on the tray for a few minutes to cool, then remove and place on a cooling rack.

WARNING - these biscuits are very moreish.........you have been warned!!!!
