Ingredients
 
 

  • 200 g margarine - make sure it's dairy free
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 3 egg yolks - size medium
  • 400 g plain flour - I use my Free From Fairy wholegrain blend for a lovely flavour
  • 3/4 tsp xanthum gum
  • 1 tsp flax seeds - finely ground
  • 1 tsp mixed spice - alternatively use up to 1 drop doTerra cassia oil instead of all the spices
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 160 g currants - I used raisins which were too big!
  • Granulated sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Beat the margarine and sugar together.
  • Add the egg yolks then the remaining ingredients, minus the currants.
  • Bring together with your hands and give it a good knead until you have a smooth dough, then add the currants and knead again.
  • Sprinkle flour on a clean surface then roll out the dough to approx. 5mm thick.
  • Cut circles or other shapes out of the dough and place on a lined baking tray.
  • Continue until all the dough is used up.
  • Sprinkle with extra sugar.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes until golden.
