190g sunflower spread
200g sugar
2 eggs
300g gluten free self raising flour
2tsp cream of tartar
1tsp bicarbonate of soda

Cinnamon Sugar
3tbsp sugar
3tsp ground cinnamon

Method

  1. Mix together butter, sugar and eggs in a large bowl.

  2. Mix rest of the biscuit ingredients in a bowl and then add to the egg mix, beat well to create a very thick batter and chill for 10 mins.

  3. Mix together cinnamon and sugar in a bowl.

  4. Roll walnut sized balls of the batter in the sugar and cinnamon mix until thoroughly covered. The batter will not be holdable to create balls with, so use a spoon to drop it in the sugar, once coated you should be able to hold it.

  5. Place the balls on baking tray a fair way apart as they spread. Bake for 12 mins on gas mark 4/180c. Remove from the tray immediately and cool.
