The first time dunker
4 August 2009When entering into the exciting world of biscuit dunking it is important to build yourself up gradually. Start with soft, absorbant biscuits engineered specifically for dunking, the rich tea is an obvious choice, progress through the hob nob.
I had a friend once, virgin dunker by the name of Norman and his first time was with a ginger snap. Big mistake.
The ginger snap is of course a level 5 advanced dunker. Too short a dunk and the ginger snap remains rigid, a couple of seconds too long and you have a soggy mess in your tea. Years of experience and thousands of biscuits dunked have taught me that between 5 and 6 seconds is about the correct duration of dunk for a standard ginger snap.
Lacking this experience, Norman was over eager and dunked for just 2 seconds. We now call him Norman Nae Teeth, so please, be careful with ginger snaps and if you are unsure always seek professional advice.
