1 stick butter (125 g)
1 cup soft brown sugar
1/3 cup golden syrup
1 cup flour
1/4 cup finely chopped peanuts
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC.
2. Chop the butter into small cubes and then place it is a sauce pan with the sugar and golden syrup. Cook over a low heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Set the mixture aside to cool for 5 minutes.
3. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking paper. When the mixture has cooled slightly, stir in the flour, chopped peanuts and cinnamon.
4. Drop heaped teaspoonfuls of mixture onto the lined trays. Leave plenty of space around them to allow for spreading.
5. Bake for peanut thins for 5 minutes until they are a deep golden color and bubbling. Remove them from oven and allow to them cool on the baking sheet.
6. Once cool and crisp you can store them in an airtight container. If you are keeping them for more than 12 hours, layer them with a little baking paper to stop them sticking together.
