Ingredients:

• 4oz / 110g Perfect Sweet^TM
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¾ teaspoon ground allspice
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 12 oz / 340g plain wholemeal flour
• 8 oz / 225g low fat margarine, softened

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 350⁰F (175⁰C)
• In a medium bowl, stir together the Perfect Sweet, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, allspice and salt. Divide into two equal parts, and set one aside
• Add the flour and margarine to the other half, and stir until blended. It should be slightly grainy
• Press the dough evenly into an 8 inch square pan. Cut into 1x2 inch pieces using a knife, and prick with a fork. This will keep the shortbread from warping while baking
• Sprinkle the reserved Perfect Sweet mixture liberally over the top, brushing into all of the cuts and holes
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden at the edges. Do not brown
• Cool completely in the pan, and break into pieces along the lines to serve.
