Betty's

A rich buttery cookie that tastes like honey comb. I make these regularly for my children's lunch boxes. This recipe is egg free. Golden syrup is an ingredient used in English, Australian and New Zealand baking.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pound (250g) butter - very soft
1 cup super fine (caster) sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
2 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons bicarb soda
3 cups plain flour

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 375oF/180oC. Grease and line baking trays.
  • 2. In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar until thick and pale. Meanwhile, heat the milk and golden syrup together until hot. Add the bicarb - it will bubble. Pour into the butter mix and continue to beat.
  • 3. Add in the flour and stir through. It should be the texture of short bread.
  • 4. Roll heaped teaspoonfuls of dough, place on the prepared trays. Press down gently with fingers and press down with a fork. Allow spreading room, they will almost double in size.
  • 5. Bake in prepared oven for 10-12 minutes and until golden and they smell amazing! Cool in the trays for a few minutes, remove and cool on a wire rack.
