Fold until combined. Add flour (approx 5 and ½ cups flour) .Pinch of small pieces of dough. Manipulate into a ball shape. Roll in sugar..Place on a tray, Largely spaced between each other. (this dough spreads and flattens, that's why it's good to make the ball a bit smaller)

INFO & TIPS

If you add less flour you will yield a flat ginger snap.
If you add more and make a firmer dough you will yield a slight heaped shape.
The difference in texture between these two is crisp and crunch VS chewy and crunchy. (it's a preference ❤️💐)
.
You may add a little more spice if you prefer.
.
Enjoy with a piping hot cup of tea.
.
P. S you may half the recipe. My yield was 50 biscuits and a cute sized gingerbread man☺️, when I halved the recipe. You may dm me if you're struggling to halve 🤗❤️
.
It's the perfect winter warmer gift. If you make the batch you could send some to family and friends. (2020 social distancing rules may apply☺️)
