Jumbles

Here’s an easy recipe from over a hundred years ago:

Jumbles

• ¼ lb flour
• ¼ lb treacle
• ¼ lb demerara sugar
• ¼ lb butter
• 1 tsp ginger

1. melt the butter and sugar together in a pan
2. add to the flour, sugar and ginger and mix well
3. leave until cold
4. when cool, take small walnut sized spoonfuls of the mixture and drop onto a baking tray
5. bake in a medium oven for 10 minutes
6. take from the oven, lift from the baking tray and drape over a rolling pin and allow to cool

They should be chewy and crispy at the same time!
