Spelt honey jumbles

A childhood favourite of mine these delicious oval shaped biscuits are ridiculously morish so yummy! I use spelt flour in most of my recipes as I'm not a fan of wheat so here is my interpretation of the humble honey jumble.

Ingredients
90g unsalted butter
3/4 C Honey
2 C plain spelt flour
1t bicarbonate of soda
1 1/2 t ground ginger
1 1/2 t mixed spice
1t ground cinnamon
2T milk

Icing
1 egg white
1 1/2 C icing sugar
Vanilla extract
Pink food colouring (optional)

Method
1. Pre heat oven to 180 degrees

2. Place butter and honey in small saucepan and slowly bring to the boil. Simmer for a few minutes then take off heat allowing to cool for 15 minutes (or if short in time like I am put it in fridge for 5 minutes or so)

3. Sift flour, bicarb and spices and add to the butter mixture, gently stir in milk.

4. Allow to cool to room temp for an hour (or again stick in fridge for 10-20 mins until room temp)

5. Turn dough out on lightly floured surface and knead, adding a little flour if needed.

6. Divide mixture into 4 portions and roll each into a long sausage shape. Cut each sausage shape into 6 pieces.

7. Tuck edges under slightly.

8. Place biscuits on trays lines with baking paper. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until biscuits start to crack on surface. I like mine pretty crunchy so leave them till they're golden.

9. Once cooled make icing by whisking the egg white and adding in icing sugar, food colouring and vanilla essence. If you feel like being tricky halve the icing sugar mixture and add food colouring to one half so that you have a mix of white and pink jumbles!

10. Enjoy with a cup of tea whilst trying to not eat the entire batch (or don't try and just eat them all they are that good)
