Belgium Slice

Fortunately, Solomon Islanders as well as our expat friends like eating sweet things! 

So I get to obsessively bake but don't have to try and eat it all!

Recipe:

Ingredients

120g butter

½ c white sugar

½ c brown sugar

1 tbsp golden syrup

1 egg

2 c flour

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp mixed spice

about ½ c raspberry jam

Method

· Cream butter and sugar, then add golden syrup then egg

· Mix in dry ingredients

· Roll out half of the mixture to cover the base of a 18 x 23cm slice tin

· Spread with raspberry jam and then cover with the other half of the 

  mixture rolled to fit (this patches really well)

· Bake at 180c for 20 minutes

Once cold ice with plain white or pink icing (I used about 2 c icing sugar, 1 tsp butter and enough milk to make a smooth icing, then I added a couple of drops of red food colouring). Sprinkle with raspberry jelly crystals.
