Simon and Miriam's Snickerdoodles (adapted from this recipe)
To make about 36 cookies you will need:
200g margarine
200g light muscovado sugar
2 eggs
375g of self raising flour (at least)
2 teaspoons of baking powder
pinch of salt
some raisins
somewhere in the region of two tablespoons of golden syrup
For the coating you will need:
25g caster sugar
5g cinnamon
Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC. Then, measure out the sugar...
...and then the Flour. Put the flour into something separate for now...
...and place the sugar into a large bowl (or wok, if that's all you've got...). Make sure it hasn't got any big lumps in it.
Measure out the margarine...
...and then mix it in with the sugar. It's going to look like poo, but try not to think about it like that.
Add a couple of tablespoons (4 desertspoons) of syrup. Mix that in, and then add raisins to taste. It's still going to look like poo, only now it looks like sloppy poo with rabbit droppings, but honestly, bear with us.
Add two teaspoons of baking powder to the flour
Sift the flour and baking powder into the poo mixture. Then stir lots. Keep checking the consistency of the mixture - if it comes away from the sides of the bowl/wok and can be rolled in your hand without leaving a sticky brown mess then it's ready. If not, sift in some more flour.
In another bowl, mix together the coating ingredients - 5g of cinnamon and 25g of caster sugar.
Take bits of the poo dough and roll into testicle-sized spheres. Roll the balls around the cinnamon mixture until well covered, and then place them on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press down on them with a spoon to make them a bit flatter (try not to wince, lads). Bake for 8-10 minutes in the oven.
Serve with a large glass of moo milk.
Comments... did you really save any for me?

That said, I'm so gonna make these. posted by Chris on 09/04/03 @ 16:31 Nooo, its great, honest.. we saw the recipe on bluepeter as nippers... you substitute the eggs n stuff with mayonnaise, makes for a much moister richer cake... i'm very picky about my desserts you know!! send me some cinnamon testicles in the post!!

(and she made real custard instead of instant, and it worked -i was very impressed!)
