If using fresh ginger is it the same quantity? Thanks

CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi there, we haven't tried this with fresh ginger and don't think it would give quite the same result.

can these be made and frozen without filling in an air tight bag ahead of time then filled before serving?Chelsea Sugar,Yes, they can. For best results however, fill them once cooled and serve.

A bit flat but ok

Rachel

I followed your recipe, mine also spread out. All my ingredients have been bought recently (don't know how long sitting on the supermarket shelf). Maybe not enough flour used and maybe just single layer of 1 tsp instead of 2. Still tasted delicious.

Great ginger kisses. But found if i cooked them in small patty pans they come out the perfect shape and size. Look like bought ones but taste much better.

Mellissa Kennard

beautiful, just like mum used to make!!!!

Method

Preheat oven to 170°C bake or 150°C fan bake.

Line 3 large baking trays with baking paper.

Sift flours, ginger and Edmonds Baking Soda together. Using an electric mixer, beat Tararua Butter, Chelsea Raw Caster Sugar and Chelsea Golden Syrup until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined after each addition.

Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes or until creamy (mixture may appear curdled at this stage). Add half the flour mixture. Beat on low speed until combined. Repeat with remaining flour mixture. Stand for 5 minutes.

Spoon two level teaspoons of mixture, on top of each other, onto prepared trays. Repeat with remaining mixture, leaving 5cm between each for spreading. Bake, one tray at a time, for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden and just firm to touch. Cool on trays.

Filling
Using an electric mixer, beat Tararua Butter until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in Chelsea Icing Sugar until well combined. Beat in Chelsea Golden Syrup. Spread two to three teaspoons of filling onto flat side of half of the biscuits. Sandwich with remaining biscuits.

Note
Spooning teaspoons of mixture on top of each other will result in even-sized rounds.

Ginger kisses are best eaten on the day they're made.
