Syrup cookies


These are so simple but so yummy, perfect to make when you have retreated to the kitchen to hide from the kids, yes it has been one heck of a week here.....

Syrup Cookies

1tbsp golden syrup
3oz caster sugar
4oz butter
8oz self raising flour
0.5tsp bicarbonate of soda
2oz sultanas

Melt the syrup, butter and sugar in a pan (make sure it does not boil!).

Remove from the heat and stir in the rest of the ingredients.

Roll them in to balls then roll them in some more caster sugar.
 Bake for 10 ish mins at 180degC or until golden brown.
Oh how I love my stacking cooling racks!
Easy peasy!

Will spring ever arrive......

This is the weather forecast for here for the next 5 days


It has been raining since I got back from Florida with maybe one or two days 'off' topped with 100mph winds yesterday, not good for the tidyness of the house or a Mummy's sanity.....!!

Not much progress on the dress this week, although I have washed and dried the fabric and read the pattern! Hopefully I will get it cut out tomorrow then the fun begins!
