For my NorCal friends. The long term projection I am looking at shows a warm storm about the 10th, I'd recommend having a go bag if you are in a low lying area.

For propensity, I will share my grandma's ginger biscuit recipe.
You know how kids hate anything ginger..... not this type though.
I would yearn for 3 months until we could make the long road to grandma's every time.

Grandma Maggy could outcook any 5-star chef I know using nothing more than a singe gass plate.
She looked like she was a good 300 pounds or more.
2 tbsp ginger powder
3 lb flour
4 cups sugar
1lb golden syrup
1llb margarine
5 eggs
1packet baking soda
1 pkt. cream of tartar
Mix everything together and let it cool in the fridge before laying out on a greased baking plate in small cookies as they tend to swell a bit during baking.
These things are addictive old-time masterpieces. The recipe is still from back in the days when used pounds in South Africa.

I'm baking a load... sweat running down my neck already. First tray is in the oven now. I forgot how much work baking is

This time I creamed the sugar and butter properly, then slowly folded in the stirred-up eggs... It stayed nice and fluffy and not greasy looking like when you add the eggs too fast. Then add the dry ingredients ( I premix those and sift it a bit for more equal mix..)

I'm trying about 10 minutes at 180c for the first ones.

the whole history is pretty interesting. If that's the correct word. Especially since the inventors sold the patent for a dollar because they knew how important and lifesaving it was. Only for it to turn into this. Profits over people.
