Moderators I hope I have done this correctly. Please correct if necessary ;D
Sweet spice teatime slice
Was given a taste of this at the local Farmer’s market on the weekend. Absolutely divine so bought the spice blend and got the recipe. Pureblends sweet spice blend is available from www.pureblends.net and original recipe is here (http://pureblends.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=125:sweet-spice-teatime-slice&catid=49:desserts&Itemid=120)
.
Although I haven’t tried it yet, this (http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/sweet-spice-blend-10000001120299/) recipe for a sweet spice blend would be very similar I think.
Makes 20 pieces
Ingredients:
• 3 tblspns Pureblends Sweet Spice blend
• 250g self raising flour
• 230g caster sugar (I used 210g Rapadura)
• 1 tspn baking powder
• 2 eggs at room temperature
• 250ml milk
• 125g unsalted butter
Icing ingredients
• 225g icing sugar
• 1 tbspn milk
• 1 tbspn softened butter
• 2-3 drops Vanilla essence
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
2. Lightly grease a 20 x 30 cm tin and line with baking paper leaving an overhang to make it easy to lift out later.
3. Melt butter in tmx bowl for 2 mins, 70 degrees, speed 2.
4. Add milk and egg. Mix for 5 seconds on speed 7.
5. Add flour, sugar, baking powder and 1 tbspn spice blend. Mix for 5 seconds, speed 5 or until just combined.
6. Put half the slice mix into tin and smooth top. Sprinkle 2/3 of remaining spice blend over the slice mix in the tin.
7. Gently spoon the remaining slice mix into tin. Sprinkle the rest of the spice blend on top.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until firm.
9. Cool in tin for 20 minutes then lift out and cool on rack.
10. Ice when completely cool.
Icing
Put all ingredients in tmx and mix on speed 5 until smooth.
(I added about a tbspoon of hot water because my butter was straight out of the fridge ;D)
Variation:
For a lemon icing variation, omit the vanilla essence and replace the milk with lemon juice.
Enjoy :)

Nice recipe conversion djinni. The only thing I would say is that we normally list the ingredients in the order of usage eg your first steps are to melt the butter, add the milk and eggs but these ingredients are at the bottom of your list. It is not essential but it makes it a lot easier to follow. This is not a criticism just a point of interest, well done.

looks good.

Thanks Judy :) I was a bit worried about a recipe that uses a specific branded product and also about making the appropriate references to sources and suppliers. So hopefully that is all OK. :)

That's fine djinni, no problem with that.

djinni, this looks great. Thanks for the conversion. This is the spice mix (http://achookwoman.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/christmas-hamper.html)that i use in most of my dishes, however i will try yours. Thanks.
