Jugu Cakes

This is my mum's original recipe... Ingredients:

1. 2 cups jugu (peanuts) raw, unsalted - coarsely grinded
2. 2 cups white flour
3. 1 cup sugar
4. 3/4 cup milk (1/2 cup milk & 1/4 cup evaporated milk) - or enough to bind
5. 2 eggs
6. 1 tsp baking powder
7. Pinch of baking soda
8. 1 tsp vanilla essence
9. 1/2 tsp elaichi powder (cardamom)
10. 2 tbsp margarine

Method:

• Preheat oven to 325F.
• In a bowl, beat one egg (leave the other egg for coating) and mix all other ingredients listed above to form a dough.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each into a log. Place the logs on greased tray and flatten them so that they are about 3" wide and 1/2" thick.
• Reduced the oven to 200F and place the tray in the oven so that the dough will rise.
• When the dough has risen, beat the other egg and brush it along each flattened log.
• Increase the heat and place the tray back in the oven.
• Bake until golden brown.
• Cool for 5 minutes, and cut the logs into required size diamond shapes.
• Serve with tea or khava (strong black coffee, Tanzania style).
• Store in an airtight container.

Enjoy.
