(Do this over your large bowl or sink as the bicarb will fizz and the mixture will grow. If your saucepan is small it may overflow. Cool for kids to watch!) Transfer to large heatproof bowl. Allow to cool.Stir in applesauce, egg, ginger, mixed spice, and flour until combined. Divide dough in half. Shape into discs. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.Preheat oven to 180C (160C fanforced). Line 2 trays with baking paper. Roll 1 dough disc between 2 sheets of lightly floured baking paper until 3mm thick.
