I came across this old recipe in a local Lakeland Recipe book and thought I'd give it a try. It didn't turn out as expected, but still, the taste was good. The instructions suggested that when all the ingredients were mixed together, the dough should be rolled out and a biscuit cutter used. However, there was no way that rolling could be achieved - only spoonfuls could be made, so, they're all funny blob shapes!
Here is the recipe, just in case you want to give it a try:
Windermere Spice Biscuits
4oz marg or butter
4oz sugar
1 egg
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon mixed spice
6oz plain flour
Set oven to 180C or Gas 4.
Beat butter and sugar together in bowl until fluffy.
Add beaten egg, salt, mixed spice and sieve in the flour.
Place spoonsful on greased baking sheet and bake for about 20 mins.
Cool on a wire rack
Makes approx 30.
