Serves: 30

Ingredients

• 75g Flora Buttery
• 100g raisins
• 55g caster sugar
• 75g soft, dark brown sugar
• 175g self-raising flour
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 0.5 tsp ground cardamom
• 0.25 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Method

• Line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.
• Heat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan/375°F/Gas mark 5)
• Put all the ingredients EXCEPT the flour into a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Now add the flour and mix in. Be careful not to go too fast to start or you’ll have flour everywhere.
• Take about 1 tsp size of the mixture and roll into a ball, place on the baking tray. Do this until all the mix is gone. You should get up to 30 of them, depending on how even you’ve been.
• Bake for 9 minutes then remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before taking them off the trays and cooling on a wire rack.
