- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (106 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten
Ingredients
- 45 g Flour, all-purpose
- 28 g Molasses
- 10 g Sugar, brown
- 1.5 g Ginger, ground
- 1 g Baking soda
- 15 g Water
- 5 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Mix the flour, ginger and baking soda in a bowl.
- Warm the molasses and brown sugar with the water until the sugar dissolves, then let cool slightly.
- Stir the molasses mixture and oil into the dry ingredients to form a smooth, thick batter.
- Spread the batter into a flat round, about 8 cm across and 1 cm thick, on a lined tray.
- Bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 12-15 minutes until set and a deep dark brown; it should still be a little soft and chewy in the middle.
- Cool completely before eating; bulla firms up as it cools.
