As cute a teatime accessories are, they make just as cute a finish.
Ingredients: 240 ml strong black tea
240 ml raisins (and some nuts too if you like)
240 ml brown sugar
2 x 240 ml white flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon baking power, 1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon gingerbread spice (recipe here)
and 30g melted butter.
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
Until the level of cuteness drops below zero.
At this point, transfer the batter into a baking-paper covered oven-pan and bake for 1 hour in a temperature of 175’C.
The batter has reincarnated into a state of absolute cuteness and sweetness.
A delightful sweet for a tea party.
