Instructions

Makes 50-60.

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 3, 170ºC, 325ºF. Lightly oil a baking tray.

In a bowl mix together the flour, sugar, cornmeal, ginger, baking powder and soda, and salt. Set aside.

In another bowl whisk the eggs and egg whites, orange juice and zest until blended.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the liquids until just combined. Add a little more orange juice if needed.

Divide the dough equally and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Form each portion into a log about 14 inches in length by 1½ wide, 35×3.5cm. Place the logs, separated onto baking tray and bake for 25 minutes or until firm. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

Slice the logs on a cutting board using a serrated knife into ½-inch thick, 12 mm slices and place cut side down on 2 dry baking sheets. Return to oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden and crisp. Allow to cool on wire rack.

Store in airtight container.
