Auntie Pat's ginger biscuits

My mum's wonderful aunt lived up the road from us when I was growing up. She was an amazing baker, my sister and I would go up to Auntie Pat's house after school once a week where we would bake with her. This was one of our favourite things to bake and my sister Steph only reminded me of it yesterday. During this period of lockdown it is a great recipe to do with kids - easy and quick, with ingredients from the cupboard, not to mention yummy and the wonderful smell of ginger wafts throughout the house - you will be making this on a weekly basis from now on!
