Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Sift the flours together into the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter and blend until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, ginger and zest and blend until the mixture comes together and forms a ball.
- Roll the dough out between two sheets of baking paper until roughly 1cm thick. Cut out shapes and place on the baking trays at least 5cm apart.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes or until slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle liberally with caster sugar while still warm. Cool on the tray for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
