Name: Individual Lekach
Ingredients: 4 oz (125 g / 1/2 cup) soft margarine; 4 oz (124 g / 1/2 cup) soft brown sugar; 6 oz (172 g / 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp) honey or golden (corn) syrup; 1 Egg; 8 oz (225 g / 2 cups) plain flour; 2 Level teaspoons ground ginger; 1/2 Level teaspoon mixed sweet spice; 4 fl (125 ml / 1/2 cup) warm water; 1/2 ts Bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) dissolved in warm water

I do not say that sin works for good to an impenitent person. No, it works for his damnation, but it works for good to them that love God… I know you will not draw a wrong conclusion from this, either to make light of sin, or to make bold with sin… If any of God’s people should be tampering with sin, because God can turn it to good; though the Lord does not damn them, He may send them to hell in this life. He may put them into such bitter agonies and soul-convulsions, as may fill them full of horror, and make them draw nigh to despair. Let this be a flaming sword to keep them from coming near the forbidden tree.

INSTRUCTIONS

From: The New Complete International Jewish Cookbook by Evelyn Rose
Keeps 2 weeks at room temperature in an airtight container. Freeze 3
months.
If you've not had time to mature a large lekach in advance of the festival,
try these individual ones, which are deliciously moist as soon as they are
baked.
Preheat the oven to Gas No. 5 (375F / 190C). Arrange 24 greaseproof baking
cases in patty tins.
Put the margarine, sugar, honey or syrup and egg into a bowl or food
processor. Beat until smooth. Finally, add the flour sifted with the spices
alternately with the bicarbonate of soda dissolved in the water. The batter
will be thin. Put a level tablespoon of the mixture into each case.
Bake for 20 minutes until a rich brown and spongy to gentle touch.
