They're the stuff of childhood memories, and just one taste can transport you back in time. But this oh-so-simple recipe can be dressed up for grownups with a topping of powdered sugar and cardamom, lemon and orange glaze or chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Dash ground ginger
- 1-1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Dash ground cardamom (optional)
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lay out about 18 cupcake (muffin) papers on a baking sheet or place them in muffin pans.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time using an electric mixer (or the whole thing may be mixed in a blender). Add cinnamon and ginger to the batter and mix well. Stir in the flour until well blended. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the batter into each paper, and level it out.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops spring back when lightly pressed. Dust with powdered sugar and cardamom when cooled.
