Belgium Slice

I love Belgium Slice! When ever I go home to NZ for a holiday I usually go to Couplands Bakery or New World to buy some.

The other day I decided I would try make some so during my internet search I came across this blog http://www.weetreatsbytammy.blogspot.com/, which has the recipe on it. I doubled the recipe and also added 1tsp of ginger and brown sugar to mine.

I didn't really like how fat it turned out so I will give it another go again and change the recipe a bit. Any way here is the recipe. Happy Baking :) xx
