ginger nut

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'biscuit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'barrel turned up overlooked by sandy?' is the wordplay.
'barrel' becomes 'tun' (tun is a kind of barrel).
'turned up' is a reversal indicator.
'overlooked by' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, some letters go above others).
'sandy?' becomes 'ginger' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tun' back-to-front is 'nut'.
'nut' after 'ginger' is 'GINGER NUT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ginger nut that I've seen before include "redhead?" , "Kind of biscuit" , "Type of biscuit" , "Variety of biscuit" , "Spicy biscuit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
