List of Ingredients

1lb Plain Flour 1tsp Ginger
1lb Sugar 2oz Candied Peel
2tsp Baking Powder 12oz Butter
1tsp Coriander Seeds 1lb Treacle
Recipe
Mix up all the ingredients until you have a well mixed dough, squash the
mix into thick round biscuits and bake in a moderate oven until golden.
You can use biscuit cutters but it is very difficult to cut dough which
contains oatmeal, I normally press the dough into the mould rather than
stamp designs. Try and find a goat shaped biscuit cutter, they are
surprisingly common in cake shops.
'Griddle' cakes can be made for any festival, though this Derbyshire
recipe has a warming wintry feel. Try some alternative ingredients more
suited to other seasons, fresh herbs, wine, chopped nuts, apples or
honey.
