Pro Tips

• I always use uncrystallised ginger because of it's way lower sugar content than crystallised ginger. You can use crystallised ginger if you prefer however it will increase the sugar content of your slice

• You can just chop up some raw almonds if you don't have slivered almonds

​

Ingredients

1¾ cups plain flour

1 cup caster sugar

⅔ cup uncrystallised ginger

½ cup slivered almonds

1 egg

185g butter, melted

¼ cup icing sugar

 

How to make it:

Preheat oven to 180oC/350oF

Line a 26cm x 18cm slice tin with baking paper

Sift flour into a large bowl, add sugar, ginger and almonds and stir to combine.

Stir in egg then stir in butter

Tip mixture into prepared slice pan and press down until tin is full and mixture is fairly flat on top

Place slice in preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes until golden on top and cooked through

Once baked remove from oven. Leave slice to sit in tin for about 35 minutes then lift onto a wire rack to cook

Dust with icing sugar then cut into pieces and store in an airtight container
