GINGER CRUNCH
This is SO simple to make! If you like ginger, you'll LOVE this. Think crunchy biscuit base, smothered with ginger flavoured icing topped with crystallised ginger. It's from an old Australia & New Zealand recipe book - apparently a recipe from New Zealand. We love it!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
- Using a mixer or a food processor, cream the butter and sugar.
- Add sifted flour, ground ginger and baking powder and mix well until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs- you can do this with your fingers if you like, but I do it in the food processor.
- If using a food processor, scrape down sides once or twice to ensure all butter is mixed in with the flour.
- Tip mixture into a well-greased shallow sided baking tin measuring approximately 27cm x 17cm (10 1/2" x 6 1/2") or a 20cm (8") square.
- Using your fingers or the back of a fork, spread mixture evenly then press down lightly until just firm.
- Don't press too hard or the mixture will set like concrete.
- Bake on the centre shelf of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
- During the last few minutes of baking, combine all the icing (frosting) ingredients in a small saucepan and melt over a low-medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Remove the biscuit base from the oven and immediately pour hot icing mixture as evenly as possible over the base.
- Use a bread knife to spread the icing evenly over the base.
- Now, cut the pieces of crystallised ginger in half and space them out evenly on top.
- Slice into approximately 20 squares while still warm.
- Remove baking tin when cool and store in an airtight tin.

Tips:
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your ginger crunch a more pronounced ginger taste.
- Grate the ginger finely: This will help the ginger to distribute evenly throughout the crunch.
- Use a light-colored syrup: A light-colored syrup, such as golden syrup or light corn syrup, will help to keep the ginger crunch a light golden color.
- Cook the syrup to the correct temperature: The syrup needs to reach a temperature of 300°F (150°C) in order to set properly.
- Be careful not to overcook the syrup: If the syrup is overcooked, it will become too thick and brittle.
- Let the ginger crunch cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent the crunch from breaking.
Conclusion:
Edmonds Ginger Crunch is a classic New Zealand biscuit that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of crunchy biscuit, chewy ginger, and sweet syrup is irresistible. If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make biscuit, then Edmonds Ginger Crunch is the perfect recipe for you.
