Title: CINNAMON SHORTBREADS
Categories: Cookies, Holidays
Yield: 24 pieces

100.00 g Plain wholewheat flour 100.00 g Plain white flour
50.00 g Cornflour 50.00 g Semolina or ground rice
2.00 ts Cinnamon (or more) 225.00 g Soft butter or margarine
100.00 g Caster sugar

Set the oven to 170 C (325 F, Gas Mark 3) and grease a 19 cm x 29 cm (7-1/2
inch x 11-1/2 inch) shallow tin with butter.

Sift the flours, semolina or ground rice and cinnamon into a large bowl or
food processor, adding the residue of bran from the sieve. Then put in the
butter or margarine and the sugar. Whizz, or beat, all the ingredients
together until they form a soft dough which leaves the sides of the bowl
clean.

Press this into the tin, leveling the surface by pressing with the back of
a metal spoon. Then prick the surface all over with a fork. Bake for about
45 minutes, until the shortbread is set and quite crispy on top and very
lightly tinged with gold. It’s more tricky to tell when these are done
than with normal shortbreads because they are already rather brown! If you
are in doubt, you can lift up one of the end pieces and look underneath it
to see if it looks done underneath. If not, carefully put it back and let
the shortbread cook for a bit longer. When it’s done, cut it into sections,
if you haven’t already done so, and leave it to cool and crisp up in the
tin.

This shortbread keeps well in a tin for several days, if it gets the
chance, and also freezes well. It defrosts very quickly; you can use it
almost straight from the freezer.

Low fat Date and Banana Cake
—————————-

This recipe is my modification of the one found in “The Vegan Cookbook”,
by Gordon Baskerville and Alan Wakeman, published by Faber and Faber
1986.

2/3 lb Wholemeal Flour
2 tbsp Baking Powder
6 Dates, pitted
2 tbsp Date Syrup
1 tbsp Barley Malt Extract
3 Bananas
3 tsp Vanilla Essence
1/8 pt Soy Milk
1/8 pt Water
1/4 lb Apple Sauce
1 doz Whole Almonds to Garnish

Mix the flour and baking powder together. Cut the dates up with a pair of
scissors and add to the flour. Put the bananas, the date syrup, malt
extract, apple sauce, vanilla essence, water and soya milk in a blender
and blend for about twenty seconds. You don’t really want the bananas to
be totally pulverised, a few little chunks are nice. Mix the liquid and
dry ingredients together. Place in a 6 inch baking tin, which has been
previously coated with non-fat spray and dusted with flour. Optionally
place a few almonds on top of the cake for decoration. Spray the top of
the cake with a little soya milk or oil (optional, though the cake gets
quite crusty without it). Bake in an oven at about 170 deg C/ 340 deg F
for approximately an hour or until a knife comes out clean.

This makes quite a substantial cake. To make a lighter cake use a flour
with less bran in it and use concentrated apple juice as a sweetener
instead of barley malt extract.
