Treacle Viennese Whirls

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan-assisted) or 190°C (160°C fan-assisted). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

   Tip: Use a digital whisk for the best results.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the golden syrup, eggs, and softened butter until smooth.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

4. 4

   Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix.

5. 5

   Gradually pour in the vegetable oil and mix until the batter is smooth.

   Tip: If the batter is too thick, add a little more oil.

6. 6

   Divide the batter evenly between the prepared baking trays.

   Tip: Use a piping bag or a spoon to achieve the desired shape.

7. 7

   Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

   Tip: Check after 10 minutes for doneness.

8. 8

   Allow the whirls to cool completely on a wire rack.

   Tip: This will help the treacle drizzle set.
