Next Get Together, Sat June 1st

Our next (and second only) get together is coming up. Please come along, whether to join in the rugging or to have a look and see if you might like to try this fun and interesting craft.
The meet will be held in Warrandyte, Victoria.
 Email victorianrugmakers@gmail.com for more information.


I'll be making the famous (in my family)....

 Molly Longstaff's Ginger Cake:

1 small cup butter (100g)
3/4 cup sugar
2 large tablespoons Golden Syrup
1 egg
2 cups sifted Plain Flour with 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dessertspoon ground ginger
1 cup milk with 1 teaspoon carb. soda
A few raisins, dates, preserved ginger and whatever you feel . I usually add walnuts or pecan nuts too. Small amount of crushed cardamon seeds is nice too too. Not too much though, it's strong.
Method:
Cream butter and sugar. Add Golden Syrup, then egg, milk and flour.
Bake at 180 degrees for approx. 1 hour.
YeeeUm!

I promised to make it last time, but things got out of hand... this time, no excuses!

  1. Just checking to see if I can comment! Note to self: Don't forget to leave the butter out to soften and be sure there are enough eggs in the basket.

  4. Sorry guys, but I'm down with a nasty cold (girl cold / man flu) and unfortunately, Sadie, myself and the cake will not be there! So sad. We were all looking forward to it. I have fresh eggs, softened butter and a pile of to-do's...
