Yeah, all good.

Honey Jumbles:

60 grams of butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup golden syrup (honey instead or as well just maintain overall quantity)
Cook those for 10 minutes on low heat so they bond etc, in a pot.
Put the mixture in a bowl to cool a little.

Stir in 1 egg

Sift: 2 1/2 cups plain flour, 1/2 cup self raising flour, 1/2 tsp bi-carb, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp clove powder, 2 tsp ginger powder and/or ground ginger, 1tsp mixed spice - or just equivalent quantities of mace, cinnamon, nutmeg.

Stir that into your mixture so far.
Knead it all until it's no longer "sticky" that much.
I'd refrigerate after covering it up...probably more than an hour, overnight would be great as the spices will develope into it a bit better)

Make your shapes however you like onto a lightly greased tray.
Cook in a preheated oven at 175-180 (that's celcius) for 12-15 minutes, just keep an eye on them.

They're pretty good on their own, a little like gingerbread with a few changes.

You can make up an icing from a beaten egg white, 1 1/2 cups of icing sugar mixed in with 2 tsp plain flour. Some lemon juice and vanilla essence for flavour, cab sprinkle some cocoa or cinnamon on top too.


Tonight, I made my own flatbread again, having some tuna and sardines on there, see what else is left in the cupboard haha, day before payday here. Maybe a can 'o baked beans.
