Ginger Snaps Free from Wheat, dairy, egg, soya, gluten

[Madison]

I love ginger snaps and have recently posted this recipe on my blog. You can find a photo of it on there. http://madisonmakes.blogspot.com/2012/0 ... -from.html Thought I would share here. My son gave them a big thumbs up.

4oz Gluten free self raising flour ( I use Doves Farm)
1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum
1 tsp heaped ground ginger
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 1/2 oz caster sugar
2 oz Dairy free and Soya Free spread ( I used Pure Sunflower spread)
2 oz Golden Syrup

Firstly sift and mix the flour, xanthan gum, ginger and bicarbonate of soda.
Then add the sugar and butter and rub until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Next add the golden syrup and mix until you get a smooth paste.
Using oiled teaspoons (oiling them means the mixture is less likely to stick), spoon teaspoon fulls onto a lined baking sheet. Be sure to keep them well apart as they do spread. Flatten the top of the mounds.
Bake in a preheated 180C/ 350F oven for 10 mins - 15 mins. For a soft chewy texture bake for 10 mins and for a more crunchy texture bake them for 15 mins.
