This awesomely autumnal ginger biscuit can be made using sweet potatoes. This biscuit becomes truly special when garnished with sweet potato syrup. If you would like to make this yourself, then don’t bother with the garnish.

    Preheat the oven to 160°C. Peel and grate the sweet potato. Peel and grate a piece of fresh ginger.

    Grease a cake tin, cover with parchment paper, and then pour in the batter. Bake the ginger biscuit for approx. 1 hour until golden brown and tender.

    Add the other 100 g of sweet potatoes to this. Cook the entirety until it becomes a jam-like, thick syrup, to which you will then add the lime zest. Remove from the heat.
