lol. ok i give! what the hell is a ginger biccie?

The home made ones are the best, here is Aunt Arabella`s recipe.

Ingredients
4 oz self-raising flour
1 level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/4 level teaspoon salt
1 level teaspoon finely ground ginger
1 level teaspoon mixed spice
1 1/2 oz ground rice
2 oz butter butter
2 oz caster sugar
4 oz golden syrup

Method

Preheat the oven to 190cC ( 375F, gas mark 5)
Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, ginger and spice into a
bowl. Stir in the rice, rub in the butter, and mix in the sugar (in
that order) Warm the syrup until it is just runny, stir it in.
Knead lightly in the bowl to make a smooth dough.
Shape into round balls, equal-sized, 24 in all.
Space well apart on greased baking sheets.
Bake in the middle of the oven in batches for 10-12 minutes until
they are golden.
Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then finish cooling on a
wire rack.

I have no idea of the nutritional content/breakdown, neither do I
care lol Like the pop-song of yesteryear

Never give gone them up
No matter what the meter says, girl

Enjoy, my friend, just two. Hubby and daughter will soon finish off
the rest ;-) My girls are so loving they help Pa`s bg by not leaving
me any unless I am quick off the mark lol

Sounds quite like something I've never had before, definately going
to have to give them a try. Couple questions though.

bicarbonate of soda, I presume is american termed "Baking Soda"?

Correct.

and just how do I ground the rice?

I do it in a blender, just 3 to 4 seconds is sufficient.

and what type of rice?

Basmati is good

caster sugar?

Same as you would use for baking a sponge cake, not sure of the American
equivalent name.

I'll assume golden syrup is the american Karo Corn Syrup. LOL

Yes, I think so.

now
to find the certain items and buy me a food scale.

There is a program that Kate has got, called Master Chef or something like
it. That would give you the breakdown, but since there are 24 biscuits
from
the above ingredients, and I would recommend just 2 for you (it`s what I
eat) I don`t think there is much of a worry, perhaps 2U of bolus, maybe
only
1U. Or a brisk walk?
