Serves: 36 (approx 18g each)

Category: Biscuits and Slices

Ingredients

  • 2½ cups gluten free plain flour
  • ½ cup fine polenta
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon mixed spice
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 80g polyunsaturated margarine
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons cold water

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper
  2. Place dry ingredients and margarine in a food processor and blitz until fine crumbs appear
  3. Add eggs and water, combine on low speed until dough just comes together
  4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured (gluten free) surface and knead gently into a ball
  5. Divide the dough into 2 balls. Roll out each portion between 2 sheets of baking paper, keep the dough quite thick as this gives the biscuit a softer centre
  6. Use a Christmas cutter to make desired shapes
  7. Place biscuits on prepared trays, bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until just crisp
  8. Biscuits will keep for weeks in a sealed storage container.
