This is a very simple slice to make. It's a great everyday recipe and a slice with a cuppa is divine. It's Gluten Free but can be made also using regular wheat flour (all-purpose flour ) with success too. If you use GF flour, nobody would guess that this slice is gluten free Ingredients:
1 cup gluten-free self-raising flour |
2 teaspoons powdered ginger |
100 g caster sugar, finely ground sugar (1/2 cup) |
25 g desiccated coconut (1/2 cup) |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
60 g butter, melted |
1 tablespoon either golden syrup or 1 tablespoon light corn syrup |
1 cup icing sugar, use gluten-free if required (confectioners sugar) |
30 g butter, softened |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon lemon zest |
1 teaspoon hot water |
