Paleo 4-Ingredient Ginger Biscuits (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free)

Food intolerances and damn awesome treats aren’t the greatest of pals – and I soon started missing my Mrs Crimble’s chocolate macaroons when I realised they had egg in.

It’s tricky to know what to make when you’re not a seasoned baker – and you’re limited on ingredients. So, I was over the moon when I found a recipe I could modify for ginger biscuits in Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottschall.

For those following gluten-free, vegan or the Specific Carbohydrate diet, or simply wanting to cut out the crap in shop-bought goodies, these soft and chewy delights are the ultimate treat – perfecto with a glass of almond milk, or lovely ginger tea (yes, I’m ginger mad).

B-E-A-yootiful.

5. Roll chilled biscuit dough into balls (about 11/2 tablespoons per ball) and place a couple of inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each biscuit with the palm of your hand.

7. Set baking sheet on a wire rack to cool

What are you waiting for? Go knock up a batch! It’s pretty much the easiest recipe in the world and even my boyfriend said they were “just like traditional ginger biscuits”. MA-HOOS-IVE win in my eyes. 🙂
