I made the chocolate brownie and wondered too about the lack of a raising agent but it was fine, totally delicious in fact. I will definetely be making it again, thank you.

I adpated another recipe from another thread Dont like too high fat content so made "Savoury swirls" for sandwich substitutes: instead of puff pastry I used tortillas (that I had in the freezer). Spread a little tomato sauce, then a squirt of dijonnaise mustard, a layer of meat (I used garlic sausage or salami, but ham would be great too), a thin sprinkle of grated cheese. Wrap/roll and cut in half, bake till cheese melts. Great hot or cold, the kids loved them for lunch. The ones made with puff pastry sheets cut into thin swirls were divine too, but too high fat for regular use, I'lls ave them for parties.

125g butter 1 cup Chelsea white sugar 2 tbsp Chelsea golden syrup 1 cup flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 cup coconut 1 egg 1 cup mixed dried fruit: raisins, currants etc. 1 1/4 cups toasted muesli
Method
Put butter, sugar and golden syrup into a large bowl and melt in the microwave. Thoroughly mix in the remaining ingredients. Grease a flat 20x30cm sponge roll baking tin. Press mixture into tin and bake at 180°C for 20 minutes. Cut into bars while still warm, and when cool, store in an airtight container.
Preheat oven to 170°C. Cover an oven tray with baking paper or spray with non stick baking spray.
Mix all ingredients until well combined. Place teaspoonfuls of mixture on the prepared tray, leaving room for spreading. Using a wet fork, flatten the balls of mixture. Bake for 16 – 20 minutes until golden brown. Carefully lift the biscuits off to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container when cold.
Tip: These are lovely crispy biscuits that are wheat free.
150 g butter, softened 3/4cup Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar 1/2 cup Chelsea White Sugar 2 eggs 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup sliced almonds 1 cup strawberry jam
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray a 20 x 30 cm slice tin with non-stick baking spray and line with non-stick baking paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, soft brown sugar and white sugar. Add the eggs and mix well. Mix in the flour, cinnamon and baking powder then the almonds. The dough will be crumbly but comes together when squeezed. Press half of this mixture into the base of the prepared tin. Using the back of a spoon, spread the jam over this base, leaving a small 1 cm border around the edge. Sprinkle the remaining mixture over the top, right to the edge and press down to form the top layer. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until the top is golden brown. Cool in the tin then slice into portions. Makes 20 slices
