Ginger Weet Bix Slice
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Weet bix crumbs
- 4 tablespoons Golden syrup or treacle
- 100 grams Margerine
- 3/4 cup Caster sugar
- 1/2 cup Dessicated coconut
- 3/4 cup Plain flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 3 teaspoons Ground ginger
Instructions
- Blitz weet bix (a boxed cereal biscuit) in a food processor or blender, measure 1 1/2 cups (approx 5-6 biscuits). Pour measured weet bix into a bowl adding the flour, coconut, ground ginger and baking powder. Mix.
- In a saucepan add margerine, sugar and golden syrup, stir on a low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the margerine mix into the weet bix mix and stir until combined.
- Firmly press the mixture into a lined slice tray (28 x18cm) and bake at 180*C for approx 17-20 minutes.
- Leave the slice in the tray to cool on a wire rack. Mix up some thinnish *vanilla or *ginger icing then ice while still warm and let cool in the tray. Cut into squares and store in an air tight container about 3 days.
Notes
All measurements are approximate for icing as I don't really have a recipe, it's just what looks good.
*Ginger icing:- 3/4 cup icing sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger and enough hot water to make a thinnish paste.
*Vanilla icing:- As above omitting the ground ginger and putting in a touch of vanilla essence.
Can be frozen in an air tight container, to serve defrost squares for about 10-15 mins.
