Something crunchy from redhead? (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ginger nut

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

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

'something crunchy from' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'something' could be 'er' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'er' is found in the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

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