Healthy Ginger Kisses image

As I am lactose intolerant, I am limited to what treats I am allowed, so I decided to make a nice light and fluffy compliment to ginger: Ginger kisses. However, I find that they had all vanished quite quickly, a real pleaser!

Time 40m

Yield 15 Kisses

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup self-raising flour
1/4 cup cornflour
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
75 g margarine (I used lite olivani)
1/2 cup sugar
2 egg whites, beaten
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon margarine
1 cup icing sugar
1 -4 tablespoon hot water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 190°C Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift flours, ginger and cinnamon together and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the 75g of margarine and sugar together until very light. Add beaten egg whites a little at a time and beat well. Beat in Maple syrup. Fold in dry ingredients.
  • Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto the trays. For larger kisses, drop dessertspoonfuls. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until kisses are slightly spongy but firm to the touch.
  • Transfer the kisses to a wire rack to cool completely. When cold, join with mock cream.
  • For the Mock Cream:.
  • In a small bowl, beat the margarine, icing sugar and 1 T of water until light. If too powdery, add more water, if too runny, add a tad more icing sugar. Flavour with vanilla extract if desired.
