I made the donut muffins, a huge hit thanks, I have printed a selection of others and will try them too when I have the right ingredients. I will also attempt to give an offering to the baking gods when I think I can find one that lives up to those already offered.

Help!!!Needed to cook for school tomorrow!! I have seen a recipe somewhere for a slice that has crushed buscuits on the bottom, then chocolate chips, dried fruit and slivered almonds then pour over a can of condensed milk and bake. Does this ring any bells with anyone?? Is that all there is to it - then into a 180 deg ? oven for? Am guessing - really want to trow it together for school morning tea tomorrow am - can someone please lead the way....

elleneva - 2005-09-12 16:43:00

BAKE for 25 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars.

elleneva - 2005-09-12 19:04:00

well done, the only one I could think of (and not as glam) is to mix enough melted butter to moisten (wet) 1 pkt of crushed biscuits.
Press into sponge roll tin - bake 10 mins mod oven.
Mix 1 can condensed milk, add enough coconut to make a thick mix.
Pour over biscuit base and bake for 10-15 mins until golden brown.
Ice when cold with choc icing.

Have made this for ever, dont know what its called.

Pipin and Kennymac Thanks Guys!!! Yes, magic slice is now the one I originally was looking for! But took the other one anyone and a huge pile of people wanted the recipe - so must have been tasty! I will try yours Pipin - I adore coconut and that sounds too easy to be true!! Just love baking - methinks I am a misfit that should have been born in the 50's!!!! Thanks for your replies!

elleneva - 2005-09-14 17:15:00

Coconut + Apricot Loaf This is great if you haven't any eggs or butter. Highly recommended everyone loves it.

1.5 cups flour, 1 + 1/4 cups coconut, 1.5 tsps baking powder, 2/3rds cup raw sugar,1/2 cup dried chopped apricots, 1 cup milk.
Mix dry ingredients together with the milk. Add chooped apricots. Place in loaf tin and bake for 55 mins in a moderate oven, or in thermowave oven at 160oc for 1 hour. Yummy! Enjoy!

zambesi2 - 2005-09-15 15:59:00

Banana bread (or muffins) Yucky overripe bananas on the discount rack work best! Makes 1 9in loaf, or 12 regular muffins, or 6 extra-large muffins, but I usually double it. In a small bowl, cream together 2T (30g) butter and 3/4c sugar. Mash in 3 chopped bananas (7 if doubled), add 1 egg & 1/3c (75ml)yogurt. In a larger bowl, mix together 2c flour, 1-1/2t baking powder, 1/2t baking soda, 1/2t salt, 1c chopped pecans. Add the wet mixture to the dry, mixing just enough to moisten, leave the lumps. Spoon into the chosen greased tin(s), let sit for 5 minutes in the pan before you bake it in a preheated 175C oven. A loaf will take 1 hour, 6 XL muffins 40-45 min, 12 reg muffins 30-35 minutes. Let sit in the pan 10 minutes before removing & cooling on a rack.

I made Sultana & Oaty Cookies

pvilz - 2005-09-18 21:07:00

Afghans from Alison Holst's Dollars & Sense cookbook. It was the first time I had ever made Afghans so I was a bit nervous of the outcome. They were wonderful and the extended family ate the lot in a flash, then demanded more ... I made more and they ate them all too :-( I guess they are a hot favourite now. The recipe says that it makes between 30 and 35 biscuits, but they would have been very little biscuits. I made a double recipe both times and it made around 20 giant sized cookies :-D After consultation with the greedy family, only my Mum said they were too big!

jaxma - 2005-09-20 12:08:00

Afghans Thought maybe I should post the recipe :-D 200gr butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup cocoa, 2 cups uncrushed cornflakes. Soften but do not melt the butter, then cream with the sugar until light and fluffy. Sift the flour and cocoa into the butter/sugar and mix gently. Add the cornflakes and mix gently by hand. Make into balls and flatten a little, place on cooking paper or a greased tray. Bake at 160oC for 20 minutes. They don't rise or spread much at all. Ice with thick chocolate butter icing while still slightly warm (but not hot). Put half a walnut on top of each biscuit. Allow to cool and eat :-D

brettnat - 2005-09-28 12:07:00

WOW this is a very cool place to come when you a starter baker, I have four boys and decided to start saving money on lunches and bake instead, I must admit my head swelled with pride as I packed their lunch boxes with sultana and bran muffins rather than chips and muslie bars, i am sticking with muffins at this stage as I tried chocy brownie but it didnt quite turn out and the muffins seem to even when you forget to mix the eggs with the milk etc and throw it in at the last stage,

redflag - 2005-09-28 14:26:00

i am loving this thread I am a nanny, working full time in the hols can get boring when the boys want to play outside without me all the time. So I have been in a baking frenzy! Made flapjacks, (its a slice, thing), choc cakes galore, marshmallow choc slice, banana cake, honey rice bubble cake (thanks sirlancelotnz!), choc rice bubble cake, lolly cake, homemade musli bars, proper caramel sauce...Im so proud of myself!

kelmrob - 2005-09-28 16:38:00

these are to die for - Brazilian Caramel Fudge Balls.
4 Tbsp cocoa, 75ml milk, 1 Tbsp butter, 2 cans sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup choc hail or choc chips plus extra choc hail to garnish. Combine cocoa and milk in large heat & microwaveable jug or bowl. Add butter, condensed milk, and the choc hail/chips. Stir to combine and microwave uncovered on HIGH for 12 minutes, stirring every 3 mins. When cooked, the mixture should begin to solidify and hold together. Leave to cool. Then roll into very small balls and roll in choc hail. Chill before serving. (the reason to make them very small as they are quite sweet, but oh so good!)

kelmrob - 2005-09-28 16:44:00
