Ginger Nut

What is it?

Rock-hard ginger biscuits with a dry, sandy snap and a sharp, warming ginger hit. Arnott's bakes them as a plain round biscuit, so the texture does most of the talking, crumbling slowly once it starts to give. Compared with other Arnott's biscuits, these sit at the harder end of the spectrum and are usually eaten with tea or coffee for dunking. Ingredient list is simple enough, with flour, sugar, golden syrup, ginger and raising agents doing the work. Dunking softens the outside layer while leaving the core firm, which is how most people eat them. Straight from the packet, they'll test your teeth before they test your taste buds.
