Quince or pear bread I've only ever made the pear bread, but that is so nice I assume the quince bread is good, too. 1T active dry yeast, 1/3c warm water. Cooked quince (3-4 roughly chopped, 1 inch of water to cover, 1/2c sugar, cooked for about 40min & cooled) or raw pear (overripe ones work best), whichever one pureed in blender to get 1c puree. 1/2t ginger for quince, black pepper for pear (really). 2T honey, 1/2t salt, 2 eggs, 3-1/2 to 4-1/2c flour. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water, let stand a few minutes. Add fruit puree, spice, honey, salt, & eggs, beat thoroughly. Add 2c of flour & beat about a minute. Stir in 1-1/2c more, until dough becomes hard to stir. Turn out onto floured surface & knead for about 5 min, adding flour as necessary to get a shiny & smooth dough. Let rest while you clean & grease the bowl.
Place the dough into greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, & let rise for about 1-1/2 hours. Turn the dough out, punch down, & divide into 2 parts. Form each part into a 7-inch round. With a floured

Pear bread cont'd Turn the dough out, punch down, & divide into 2 parts. Form each part into a 7-inch round. With a floured finger punch a hole in the center & twirl to enlarge the hole to about 4 inches diameter. Place each round on opposite ends of a greased baking sheet. If you don't want the hole to close up, put a well-greased cookie cutter or small empty can in the center. Cover loaves lightly with a tea towel & let rise another 45 min or until doubled. Paint the tops with a glaze made from 1 egg mixed with 1t water, & bake in preheated 175C oven for about 40 minutes. Cool on racks.

Here we go ...Orange Icing Place 1 cup of Icing sugar into jug or small bowl, add 1 Tbsp melted butter, tsp of finely grated orange rind. Slowly add small amounts of boilng water (and mix well) until you get the disired consistency. Mine was just runny enough to drizzle all over in random fashion but just use less water if you want a more spreadable fudgey icing. (Alternatively just use icing sugar, a tsp of orange essence and a few Tbsp boiling water)

Sugar Buns - these will take you down memory lane! 1 1/4 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 cup custard powder, 1/2 cup sugar, handful of sultanas, 60gr melted butter, 1 lightly beaten egg, a few drops of lemon essense,(optional), approx 1/4 cup milk, a few tsp jam. Place sifted dry ingredients into med bowl. Add sugar and sultanas and give it a bit of a stir to combine. Make a well in the centre and mix in melted butter, egg and essence. Most of it should come together into a ball but don't worry if it doesn't - it'll be okay!! Slowly stir in the milk. (Adjust quanity if you need to - the mix should hold its shape when it is scooped up, ie: not sloppy.) Using a tablespoon, scoop out onto a baking paper lined tray. Place a small blob of jam on the top of each and a sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 180 for about 15 - 20 mins. Test by lightly touching the tops - should be firmish and lightly browned. Makes 7-8 buns. ENJOY!

smiley_cherub - 2006-02-18 23:39:00

Weebix Choc/Cherry Slice 175g butter
2 Tbs golden syrup,
2 Tbs rum (or Kahlua),
2 Tbs cocoa,
3 cups crumbled weetbix,
1 cup icing sugar,
1/2 cup white chocolate buttons,
2 Tbs lemon juice,
397g can sweetened condensed milk,
2 Tbs hot water,
1/2 cup chopped red glace cherries. In a large saucepan, melt butter, condensed milk and golden syrup together. Bring to the boil stirring all the time.
Simmer 2 mins., add rum (I use Kahlua), crushed weetbix and cocoa. Combine all ingredients. Pour into a foil-lined 27 cm x 18 cm tin. Cool. Melt chocolate buttons, add icing sugar, lemon juice, hot water and cherries. Mix to a smooth paste. Pour over weetbix mixture. Refrigerate until set. Turn onto a board, remove foil and cut into slices.

grandmwatts sounds a little like Tan Square but that has condensed milk not G.Syrup in the filling. Your Boston bun looks interesting and will be saved for appropriate time. I had typed in "bum" not "bun" which made fun reading-pity I proof read!

German Plum Cake Easy & excellent, from trusty Betty Crocker. Crust: 100g butter, 2c flour, 1/4c sugar, 1t baking powder, 1/2t salt, 1/2t grated lemon peel, 1/4t mace. Filling: about 5c halved & pitted plums, 3/4c sugar, 2T flour, 1t cinnamon. Topping: 1/4c slivered almonds (most of a 70g pack). For crust, but butter into mixed dry ingredients until mixture resembles fine crumbs, press into bottom & sides of ungreased round 23cm layer pan or quiche dish. Place the plum halves cut side down & slighly overlapping, on top of the pastry. Sprinkle mixed sugar, flour, & spices over the plums, sprinkle almonds over the lot. Bake in 190C oven for about 35-45 minutes, until pastry is brown & plums are bubbly. (You will probably find it helpful to put a pan or baking sheet on a lower rack to catch any juice that occasionally spills over.)

smiley cherub magical orange cake I am putting this here as it is one of the easiest and tastest cakes I have tried. Magical Orange Cake: 1 whole orange, washed and processed to a pulp, 125gr melted butter, 1 cup sugar 2 med-lge eggs, 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour. YES, ITS AS EASY AS IT LOOKS! If you have a food processor, just throw everything in together and mix till all combined. Now, I don't have a FP so I did it the old-fashioned way (LOL) Mix together the melted butter and sugar, add egg then orange pulp. Stir to combine then fold in sifted SR flour. Pour into lined loaf tin and bake at 180C for approx 35-40 mins or ready when tested with skewer. I doubled this recipe - it made a lovely ring tin cake which I iced with orange icing and also a loaf which I left plain. Such an economical recipe! Couldn't believe how yummy such a simple recipe could be.

#1175 marywea.I did ring the dairy owner and tried to describe the slice,but i had no luck.Will go th the dairy myself soon to checkout,if they still sell it,as the guy cant make out what slice i was talking about.Marywea,it could be Tan square,caramel crunch slice,or caramel slice,as they all have golden syrup in them(looked through my old recipe books)Cheers marywea for your help.
