200g butter
250ml brown sugar
1 egg
200ml molasses
750ml flour
2.5ml slat
10ml bicarbonate of soda
2.5ml ground cloves
5ml ginger
5ml cinnamon
+/_ 125ml extra sugar
Makes 6-7 dozen biscuits.
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C
Beat the butter until creamy.
Add the brown sugar, egg and molasses.
Mix together the dry ingredients and add to he sugar mixture. Blend together by folding in with a rubber spatula.
Cover and chill the dough.
Shape into balls of about 1 inch in diameter and roll each ball in granulated sugar.
Place balls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Slightly flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass, which has been greased with a bit of butter and dipped in sugar. This keeps the dough from sticking to the glass.
Bake for about 10-11 minutes.
Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes before removing, baking paper and all, to a cooling rack.
Cook's Tip
Use a glass with a crystal pattern on the base
to give a pretty design on the top of the cookies.
