AUSTRALIAN JACK – Australian Food Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

2 ts Water

1 1/2 c Oatmeal

1 t Ginger, powder

1/4 lb Butter, unsalted

1/3 c Sugar, brown, dark

1/4 ts Baking soda

Cream the butter; add the sugar and beat until light

and fluffy. Dissolve the baking soda in the water and

add, stirring well. Add the oatmeal and ginger, mixing

well. The mixture should be fairly firm. If necessary,

add a little more oatmeal. Knead lightly on a floured

surface. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Press the

mixture in a buttered baking dish, about 8 x 12

inches. The dough should be about 1/2 inch thick. Bake

in the 300 degree oven for 35 minutes, or until brown

on top. Cut into squares while hot.
