So i'm not sold on this one. Make it as it took no time at all, to take out for morning tea but I'm thinking I should have gone for brownie (gee I wonder why I can't lose weight.....)
Russian Shortbread from the book: The Kindness of Strangers – Kitchen Memoirs
by Shonagh Koea
125 grams of butter
100 grams of sugar (I prefer brown sugar)
One tablespoon of golden syrup
One egg
225 grams of sifted flour
A cup of sultanas
One rounded teaspoon of baking powder
Put the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan and melt carefully. When it is completely liquid cool the mixture for a few minutes and then beat in the egg, add the sifted flour, sultanas and baking powder. Mix carefully, turn into a greased sponge roll tin and bake in a moderate over (about 160 degrees Celsius) for fifteen to twenty minutes. The original recipe required it to be iced but I have never done this because I feel it would be just too much.
Janes' review:
1; being a sucky flop 2;definitely do this one again 3; being add to your repertoire immediately
Taste: 1 and half - not a flop but don't think I would do again
Ease: 2 very simple to chuck together
Kids and husband test - okay.
Overall, not a winner but not awful either. Good if you don't have a sweet tooth....... I don't have a sweeth tooth, I have a mouthful of sweet teeth!
