A little bit if spice in a biscuit makes such a difference. These little beauties were one of my favourites as a child. They are quick and easy to make too.
Ingredients:
500ml flour
7.5ml bicarbonate of soda
5ml mixed spice
2ml ground ginger
200ml sugar
2ml salt
500ml oats
200g butter
1 egg
30ml golden syrup or honey
Nuts of choice (halved almonds, halved walnuts or pecans, hazelnuts)
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200C.
Sift the flour, soda, and spices into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and oats. Mix well.
Work in the butter with the finger tips.
Beat the egg with the syrup or honey and add to the dry ingredients mixture. Blend thoroughly to make a stiff dough.
Shape the dough by hand into balls the size of walnuts. Place them on a greased baking tray pressing down ligthly with your thumb to flatten slightly and make a small indentation. Place a nut of choice in the indentation of each biscuit.
Bake for 10-15 minutes.
Makes about 6-7 dozen biscuits. Store in an airtight container.
