This has become a winter staple here at Chez KP. It can be used in a multitude of ways such as in baking and on pancakes but is primarily an addition to our daily porridge.
Thermomix. Sugar Spice Mix
1kg soft brown sugar
1 cinnamon stick
3 cardamon pods, cracked and seeds removed (discard pod, use seeds)
2cm piece of ginger, peeled
1/4 nutmeg
1. Add spices to thermoix and blitz on speed 9 for 1 minute.
2. Scrape down sides, add suagr and mix on 4, using spatula to combine for 45 seconds.
3. Store in an airtight container.
It’s that easy. Incredibly aromatic and so much nicer than plain sugar.
My friends have been asking me if the Thermomix is just as great for home cooks as it is for pro chefs, I would always tell them it depends on how often you cook. It’s a little pricy but if you make use of it properly and most of the time then the price shouldn’t be a problem.
