shhh Grandmas snickerdoodles...


Oh my Grandmas snickerdoodles sounds a tad wrong doesn’t it? They are in fact a biscuity cake like treat that my beloved enjoys and as you may have already guessed his Grandma makes them for him. I somewhat bravely and perhaps stupidly have gotten the recipe of Grandma and spent the past few weeks trying to perfect the recipe. It not a hard recipe but it is one that you need to be careful with your measurement to make sure they work out. What I do really like about this recipe is it is simple low cost ingredients and it make a great big pile perfect for sharing which is what I will be doing this weekend.
Snickerdoodles
2 1/4 cups plain flour
2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon bi-carb
1/2 teaspoon salt
225gr soft butter
1 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
 
Step one: Cream butter and sugar.
Step two: Add eggs one at a time and vanilla.
Step three: Add sifted dry ingredients, mix until combined.
Step four: roll into small balls then roll the ball in a mixture of 2 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon nutmeg and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
Step five: Place on lined tray, allow room on tray for spreading. Bake in a moderate oven for approximately 10min or until lightly brown.
Happy baking and happy weekend :)

A bit about me… I’m a wife, a mother of three kids, I’m a Christian, a teacher, I cook, I clean, I sew, I paint, I garden. I'm a contradiction of myself, I eat too much drink too but try to keep healthy, I get cross with my husband, I don’t always have enough patience with my kids. I get caught up on the stupid details of life and sometimes forget about the importance of the big picture. This blog is my blog, my space to share, to rant, a place to create I hope you like what I am doing and would love you to follow along.
