ingredients:

• 165g (6½oz) JUVELA Gluten-Free Mix
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of mixed spice
• 50g (2oz) hard margarine
• 25g (1oz) caster sugar
• 1 medium egg, beaten
• 75ml (3fl oz) milk
• Oil for frying
• Extra caster sugar for dusting

Method:

In a large bowl, combine the Mix, salt and mixed spice. Rub in the margarine to resemble breadcrumbs. Add the caster sugar and stir in the egg and sufficient milk to make a soft but not sticky dough. Knead lightly for a couple of minutes on a surface lightly dusted with Mix.

Roll out to 1cm (½ inch) thickness. Cut into rounds using a 5cm (2inch) plain cutter. Remove the centres using a 2.5cm (1inch) cutter. Re-roll and cut remaining dough. Fry a few at a time in hot oil for 2-3 minutes, turning once during cooking.

Drain thoroughly and toss in caster sugar.
