A nice gift idea...

I saw these at the Spirit of Christmas fair in London and liked them so much I made and gave them as several gifts.

Buy some vintage jars and fill them with layers of all the dry ingredients for your favourite cake or cookie. Then attach a gift card with the recipe attached. The one I used is written below:

Ingredients

• 175g plain flour , plus extra for dusting
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 85g porridge oats
• 175g  caster sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 140g butter , chopped (you will need to add this)
• 70g dried raisins
• 1 egg , beaten (you will need to add this)

1. Tip the flour, baking powder, oats, sugar and cinnamon into a bowl, then mix well with your hands. Add the butter, then rub it into the mixture until it has disappeared.
2. Stir in the blueberries and pecans, add the egg, then mix well with a cutlery knife or wooden spoon until it all comes together in a big ball.
3. Spoon teaspoon sized dollops, evenly spread onto a baking sheet
4. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/ gas 4. Bake for 14 mins golden, leave on the trays to harden, then cool completely on a wire rack before tucking in.

Job done! Lovely and great value gift. :)
