Milky Way Off the Deck by jgpittenger

Milky Way Off the Deck

Best of course on black. Again the stars as we sat in the hot tub on our deck last night were totally gorgeous. I thought about going to a better spot to photograph them but feared I would run into fog again if I went near any water, so I got out of the tub and set up my tripod. It was a totally star studded night. ahhh
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

12oz (300g) SR flour, 4oz (100g) butter, 7oz,(180g) muscovado & granulated sgr, 2oz (50g) diced crystallised ginger, 3oz (75g) golden syrup, 1 egg, 2 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp bicarb,
Melt fat and srup in pan. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients, add beaten egg and warm fat and syrup. Mix thoroughly then knead with hands. Do not add any more liquid. Roll into small balls (ping pong ball sized) and put on baking tray allowing at least 2cm space between each. Bake 10 mins (200 degreesC: 400 F: Gas 6) Place immediately on a wire cooling tray. Enjoy!

Awesome capture.

Haha, yes I thought you might have some problems with the ingredients. SR flour is self raising flour. Just add 2 tsp baking powder to plain flour. Muscovado is soft dark brown sugar. I use half muscovado and half granulated sugar. Golden syrup is more tricky. I used to use corn syrup when I lived in Canada but its not the same. Corn syrup is much sweeter and thinner, so if you use it, use less. I use about 3 tablespoons of golden syrup as its messy to weigh. Syrup is made from cane sugar. Good luck!
