Mind you..in muggy hot kitchen conditions this morning...over 30 degrees early this morning
Had to work quickly..and do half batches at a time cutting them out....dough stayed very moist..so that's good.
I just dipped their feet in melted chocolate...no fiddling around this day.....no faces or smiles! lol
INGREDIENTS:
130 grams real Butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup golden syrup
1 egg YOLK
2 TBS ginger
1 TBS mixed spice
1 TSP cinnamon
1 TSP BICARB
2 cups PLAIN flour
OK cream butter and sugar
add golden syrup and egg yolk..beat till combined
Stir in spices...bicarb and flour
aturn onto lightly floured surface...knead till smooth....
rest in fridge for 30 minutes...
cut dough in half...do in 2 batches....roll out to about 5mm..or howeva you want
bake in 180 degree oven give or take 10 minutes..or until lightly brown
they will firm up after cooling.
BTW with spices..just do to your own tastes....not an exact science :)
I like to make my own bread crumbs...for chicken schnitzels..crumbed sausages ect...so Ill be doing that one next I think :) SO see you all really soon....
