Ginger biscuits
The National Garden Scheme has been supporting Horatio’s Garden since 2015 and has donated £330,000 to-date to help the charity create and care for beautiful accessible gardens in NHS regional spinal injury centres.
Horatio’s Garden supporter, Emma, shares her mum’s secret recipe for ginger biscuits. The warmth of the ginger and the combination of crisp and chewy will bring plenty of comfort and joy this November!
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes – but check at 15!
