These are traditional Liberian biscuits (cookies) made with fresh, grated, cassava.
Ingredients:
10 tbsp butter
40g sugar
2 tbsp freshly-grated ginger (reduce if not to your taste)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
60ml honey
1 egg
180g finely-grated raw cassava
450g plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Method:
In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy then blend in the ginger, cinnamon, honey and the egg before folding-in the cassava.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a separate bowl then add to the butter mixture and mix thoroughly to combine. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto an ungreased baking tray then place in an oven pre-heated to 170°C (325°F/Gas Mark 3) and bake for 7 minutes.
Take the biscuits out of the oven, allow to cool a little then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
