Where’s the candied ginger in your recipe? As mentioned in your blog.
Susan
I think the 450 would be the Fahrenheit and 220 the Celsius.
How much of the egg mixture would be left for the topping?
Nancy
How much of the egg and milk mixture should you put into the flour mix to have enough left to brush on the biscuits afterward?????
Aarthi
Just leave 2 tblsp egg mix and add remaining in
Maggie
