Granddads famous biscuits

My granddad was quite unusual for his generation and loved cooking and baking.  He was an excellent baker (although not quite as good as Grandma, but more on that at a later date!) Arriving at their house was always exciting as you would be greeted with a pot of tea (always tea leaves) and a ginger biscuit.  Now apparently the original recipe name was "Caravan Cookies" but in our family they are now just "Granddads Biscuits"  I made them for my cousin the other day and he declared they were almost as good as Granddads which is good enough for me!

They are really easy to make and suitable for people who don't eat egg.
