Hubby was after some cookies to dunk in his cup of tea, so I made these. They are yummy, kinda like a cakey cookie and dunk perfectly.
500g (17 1/2 oz) plain/all purpose flour
190g (6 1/2 oz) sugar
2 eggs
100g (3 1/2 oz) butter (room temp)
10g (2 level teaspoons) baking powder
50-75ml (1 3/4 to 2 fl oz) milk
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons demerara sugar
Pre-heat the oven 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Pop all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix until it comes together as a dough, don't over mix.
Roll out on a lightly floured surface, to a depth of about 1cm.
Cut into rectangles and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.
Allow to cool then make a cuppa and dunk away.
Options:
Replace the nutmeg with ground cinnamon or mixed spice
Replace the nutmeg with the zest of a lemon, lime or orange
