Baking

What better way to make someone feel better than to drop off some freshly baked goodies!

Gingernut Biscuits

1 cup caster sugar           2 tbs melted butter

1 egg                                 2 tbs golden syrup

2 cups SR flour                3 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cinnamon   white sugar, extra

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Roll into small balls, then coat in white sugar. Place on greased oven trays and flatten slightly with a fork. Bake at 200 degrees C for 10-12 mins.

I got the cupcake recipe from here. I added the zest of one orange and some fresh orange juice instead of the milk. I also used some fresh orange juice in the icing.

My young son was desperate to eat the biscuits before they were cooked. He totally distracted me by successfully using the potty, then as I was cleaning that up, he raced into the kitchen and jammed 3 uncooked biscuits in his gob! Cheeky monkey!
