RECIPE: Molasses Crinkles

At Cookery School we teach to empower so that everyone has the confidence to replicate recipes again and again at home. We also teach by principle – if you can understand how to make and prepare a biscuit, you can make a whole range of different biscuits using the same principle.

This is a Betty Crocker inspired recipe from my childhood. They are wonderful ginger biscuits.
