225 g self raising flour
1 good teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
90 g soft brown sugar
120 g butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup
1 tablespoon treacle
2 whole eggs
For the topping 1 tablespoon soft brown sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of very hot water to dissolve it.
Preheat the oven to 170C, 325F, Gas 3
Butter and line a rectangular baking tin, 20 cm by 2 cm deep.
Sift the flour sugar and ginger together, add the nutmeg and cinnamon. Stir well.
Melt the butter syrup and treacle under a very low light. When melted add to the flour and beat in the eggs.
When mixed, pour into the tin and bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
When you bring it out of the oven, brush with the sugar solution and allow to cool. |
