Recipe: Ginger Biscuits, Spicy Ginger Biscuits

Hi Linda :-) I'm not sure if these recipes are what your friend is looking for. These recipes came up when I tried to find a recipe for you. They came from a low carb site (??!?) and the first recipe doesn't include any ginger ? but I'm sure it could be added. Perhaps it was an oversight by whoever wrote the recipe?!? Good luck with your search. I do hope, though, that one of these will be similar to what your friend wants.
