You know when you have a recipe planned and it doesn’t quite go to plan? Well, this is one of those.
We had planned to make Cinnamon & Raisin Cookies. Only my baking trays were in the dishwasher, and the kids didn’t want to wait.
Instead, we made the recipe as planned, put it into a Pyrex dish and baked it as if it were a cake.
Cinnamon and Raisin Cake Bites Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3oz Softened Butter
- 2oz Caster Sugar
- 3oz Soft Brown Sugar
- 1 Medium Egg
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 3oz Raisins
- 6oz Self-Raising Flour
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
How to make:
- Place all of the above ingredients into a large mixing bowl and beat together until all is well mixed
- Grease the Pyrex dish or line it with greaseproof paper
- Bake in a preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. To check it is cooked, use a fork – inset into the middle, if it comes out clean it is cooked.
- Leave to cool
- Cut into squares and remove from the dish
