Our ginger thins biscuit recipe delivers great snap in a short, crumbly treat with the welcome heat of ground ginger and extra depth from cinnamon and mixed spice. These easy-to-make biscuits are ready in 20 minutes and glazed in a smooth lemon icing to bring a little sweetness and acidity. Simple enough to make with the kids, and best enjoyed with a cuppa.
