Lacemaker'S Cattern Cakes - English Spiced Sugar Cookies


1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl: flour, cinnamon, currants, ground almonds, caraway seeds and sugar.

2. Add the melted butter and the beaten egg and mix well to give a soft dough.

3. Roll the dough out on a floured board, into a rectangle about 12" x 10" - 30cm x 25cm.

4. Brush the dough with water and sprinkle with the extra sugar and cinnamon to taste.

5. Gently roll the dough up like a Swiss roll, not too tightly, and then cut the rolled up dough into 3/4" - 2cm slices.

6. Place these slices on to a well greased and lined baking tray or biscuit/cookie sheet, making sure that they are spaced well apart.

7. Bake in a pre-heated oven 200C/400F/Gas 6 for about 10 minutes, or until golden and crispy to the top.

8. Allow the cattern cakes to cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with extra caraway seeds, sugar and cinnamon if you like.

9. Store in an airtight tin for up to 7 days.
