Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Lovely tasting. I made my biscuits quite thick so they didn't keep falling apart. The mixture is short not dry. Thank you
I followed this from scratch , step by step, and I have to say it created the MOST delicious gingerbread dough I have EVER eaten. But please help me work out what I did wrong to get such a dry, crumbly dough. No idea where I went wrong
These were a hit at last night's Xmas get together. Very clever and delicious!
Wanting to make these for Christmas hampers but wondering how long they will stay fresh for.
