Really dark crunchy biscuits - Cranks recipe.

60 g butter
175g wholemeal self-raising flour ( we don’t have self -raising flour so I also add threequarters of a teaspoon of baking powder )
60g raw brown sugar
100g black treacle
3.75ml ( three quarters of a teaspoon ) bicarbonate of soda
2 tsp ,( 10 ml ) ground ginger

Put all the ingredients into a mixer and mix to form a soft dough.

Place balls the size of a walnut, well apart, on tray covered with baking paper

Bake in oven 180C ( 350F, Mark 4 ) for about 15 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to wire tray.

Makes about 15 biscuits.

* these are nice dipped in melted chocolate ;-)
