Homemade gummy bears recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of juice or liquid of your choice (champagne gummy bears are quite delicious)
- 1 cup castor sugar
- 3 tablespoons gelatine powder
Method
- This recipe is super quick and easy, basically just place all the ingredients into a saucepan and heat on a low heat until the sugar and gelatine are dissolved.
- Next step is either to pour into moulds of your choice or on a grease proof lined tin, leave at room temperature for 30 minutes and then pop into the fridge for a further 30-60 minutes.
- Then just pop them out the moulds or cut them into blocks and enjoy!Sugar cookiesIngredients:
- 300g butter (softened)
- 180g icing sugar
- 2 eggs
- 500g cake flour
Method
- In a mixer combine the softened butter and icing sugar and beat until a fluffy buttercream texture forms. Add the eggs (don’t worry if it looks like it has split, it’s completely normal and does happen more than you think!). Finish off by adding the flour and mix until combined but be careful not to overbeat!
- Place the mixture into cling wrap and make sure it’s sealed then put it in the fridge for two hours or in the freezer for 30 minutes (depends on how much time you have)
- Knead it in some flour, roll out and cut out desired shapes. Then just put back into the freezer for a further 10 minutes before baking to ensure it holds its shape. Bake at 180 degrees for about eight minutes (depending on the oven).
- Enjoy as is or dip them in melted chocolate for a more luxurious biscuit.
- A nice variety is to add 2 tablespoons of ginger in the mix to make ginger cookies.
