bifo - 2004-03-28 11:43:00

Pleased that there are others who enjoy baking as well, life gets so busy some times its important too keep things simple sometimes....anyway i have just done this weekends bake and ive done the ALBERT SQUARE from above and the OLDFASHIONED CHEESECAKES....125 grams of flakey pastry,125 grams butter, 125 grams sugar, 2 eggs,150 grams of flour and 1 teaspoon of bAking powder..cream butter and sugar add eggs then dry ingredients, Roll out pastry and cut into circles and press into a greased muffin tin, then add 1 teaspoon of jam to each muffin cup and put the cak mix on top of each jam case, if you have any pastry left over you can put a pastry swirl on top of each cake and cook at 200 for 20 mins...............I then made BACON & EGG MINIS line muffin tins with pastry and add chopped onion, peas/corn bacon, tomato and 4 eggs mixed with 1/2 cup of milk baked at 200 for 20 mins and thats it will take my nephew and little care package later

bams1 - 2004-03-28 15:52:00

bams1 We baked your Choc Raspberry Slice.....YUM!!! Also baked a fav, tan square, and hubby baked blueberry muffins and banana and choc muffins (he hides a small solid choc easter egg in the middle of them) YUMM!!!

phenominal_one - 2004-03-28 18:30:00

My question to all of you who bake in big batches is....how the heck do you stop yourself from eating it all at once???!!! lol I have tried to make muffins,slices etc to last for a week but have now given up as once i start i just cant help myself until its all gone! I know BIG lack of will power! lol

bsj02 - 2004-03-28 20:59:00

Hey cob I made your recipe for banana loaf today and it is very very nice thankyou - definately recommend it, its nice and light and tasty great for lunches this week.

pom4 - 2004-03-28 22:29:00

#60..... When we bake in bulk.....we keep out what we need for the week and freeze what can be frozen for a later time, like when we have visitors, or cant be bothered baking the next week.

phenominal_one - 2004-03-29 06:03:00

it is all about will power im not really into the things i bake for the kids and the cakes and slices i like they dont so thats how it works in our house hold oh but the easteregg muffins thed be no EE left to put in them if i was baking LOL, pleased you liked the loaf bam ive got heaps more when ive got more time ill put some in

kob - 2004-03-29 06:05:00

i must admit, I would have the problem too.... of the easter eggs not getting to the actual muffin....lol....that's probably why hubby makes them, without me in sight...lmao

phenominal_one - 2004-03-29 06:31:00

That is the problem I do eat everything I bake and hence why I must go back to Weightwatchers and why I tend to buy a lot of biscuits I don't really like brought biscuits!!!!!! I made a Mixed berry fruit cheesecake over the weekend and guess who gets to eat the left overs which is probably half of it!!!! Have a lovely day

fourz - 2004-03-29 10:03:00

I'm like kob Once i've spent the hours doing the baking i can't be bothered to eat much of it , the bran muffins is about all i eat, in this house you'd have to fight the kids off anyway!!!!

bams1 - 2004-04-04 11:47:00

Hey im cheating today im going to auckland to see Mama Mia on Tuesady and having a couple of days up there so have bought farm bake bikkys for the kids, sorry to let you guys know that but will bake next weekend and keep the posting going

kob - 2004-04-04 12:12:00

this is awesome... Just this last week I've been inspired to bake some biscuits etc. - getting fed up with the price you pay for bikkies in the shops, and the fam. likes the home-baking anyway. Just had a quick look at this message board for the fun of it and here are about a million bikkie recipes to try out in this thread. My 4 year old and I are about to hit the kitchen...

cowhell - 2004-04-05 14:39:00

Last night I made bread with cheese, onion and bacon in it, in the breadmaker. Yummmmmmmm! I don't bake anything else because it just goes to waste.

jmiller - 2004-04-05 14:45:00

Easy yummy moist gingerbread. 200g butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 cup golden syrup, 3/4 cup milk, 2 eggs, 2 cups plain flour, 1 tbsp ginger, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp mixed spice.
Place the butter, brown sugar, golden syrup and milk in a saucepan and heat until sugar has disolved but do not boil. Cool. When cool beat in the eggs. Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl and make a well in the middle and pour in liquid mixture. Stir until just combined. Pour into a greased loaf tin and bake for 50 minutes at 160 degrees C. This is really really nice and I recommend it it all. It made quite abit of mixture so I put a bit of it into patty cases and it make wonderful muffins. If you make the muffins they don't take long to cook so keep an eye on them.

pom4 - 2004-04-05 22:15:00

bams1 - 2004-04-11 15:36:00

Bams I'm with your hubby on the over-cooked baking! My mother always "just cooked" her baking and it didn't go down well with me. I even go to the cafeteria where I work and ask for the "brownest scone or muffin please" ... so I know where he's coming from! But it's also great to see there are still people like you who bake your own. Must smell yummy! Good you you!

matuq - 2004-04-11 18:18:00

Kids and neighbours both know when there is baking being done!!Can smell it down the driveway they tell me !!Yup hubby has to have everything slighty burnt including his toast!He also looks for the darkest loaves of bread in the supermarket!! What a dag.I could not help my self this arvo and enede up making some bran muffins for me and Miss P to have tomorrow - old habits die hard i guess - looking forward to my men coming home so i can cook in bulk again !!!!

bams1 - 2004-04-11 20:33:00
