Gingered Nuts Recipes

GINGERED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine nuts, candied ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and sesame seeds. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium-high. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves, 3 minutes.
• Pour sugar syrup over nut mixture and toss well to combine. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until nuts are golden, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack before breaking into bite-size pieces.

GINGERBREAD SPICED NUTS

Steps:

• Whisk 1 egg white with 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons gingerbread spice, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon each paprika and pepper. Add 1 1/3 cups each pecans and almonds; toss. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 325˚, stirring every 10 minutes, until mostly dry but still slightly sticky, about 25 minutes; add 1 1/3 cups sesame sticks during the last 5 minutes of baking. Let cool.

HARD GINGER NUT BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
• Warm golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly in the saucepan.
• Combine flour, sugar, and ginger in a bowl. Rub in margarine. Mix in baking soda. Stir flour mixture into the golden syrup in the saucepan until dough is well combined.
• Take a small, walnut-sized piece of dough and roll it into a ball; continue with remaining dough. Space biscuits evenly apart on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are slightly cracked on the surface, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

GINGERNUT BISCUITS

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Cream the butter and the sugar.
• Add the golden syrup and the dry ingredients.
• Mix everything together and roll into little balls. Put onto a greased baking tray, pressing the balls down very slightly with a fork.
• Bake at 350°F and 180°C for 15 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack and keep in an airtight container once cold.

GINGERNUTS

Steps:

• In a medium to large size pot slowly melt the first four ingredients (butter, sugar, golden syrup and milk) stirring constantly until all are blended together. Don't worry about dissolving every last bit of sugar.
• Remove from heat and then add baking soda and stir until dissolved. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 150°C.
• Sift in the flour and ginger and mix well. The mixture will be quite loose.
• Roll into small balls and put onto a baking tray. Flatten with the heel of the hand, allowing room for spreading.
• Bake in a slow oven, 150C - 13-15 minutes. I bake these on the rack above the middle of the oven. Simply because my oven tends to be a bit hot on the bottom.

CINNAMON-GINGER NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Whisk 1 egg white in a large bowl until frothy. Add the nuts and stir until evenly coated. Add the spice mix and toss to coat. Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared
• baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until toasted and just dry, about 25 minutes.
• Let the nuts cool completely on the baking sheet (they will crisp as they cool). Break up any clusters.

• With your hands, shape the dough into around 30 individual, even-sized balls.
• Slightly flatten each ball before placing (spaced well apart) onto the baking sheets and baking for 15-20 minutes.

CHILLI & GINGER NUTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Whisk the egg white briefly to break it up. Add the spices and sugar, and whisk to combine. Add the nuts and stir or toss to coat.
