baking I have just baked biscuits, muffins, a chocolate cake, cheese rolls and I am about to do mousetraps, I have also made sausage rolls and garlic bread.

re #1251 - my post!! I sorted out the sugary marshmellow by doubling the gelatine and water mix and added the sugar slowly...it looks fab! Oh and I put it on top of a chocolate, weetbix coconut base. Just incase anyone was wondering ;)

re: choc raspberry slice hey i'm just making the choc rasp slice is it not meant to have any rising agent in it?

Fudgy ginger crunch make your ordinary ginger crunch recipe but cook the base about half the normal time - until it is nearly set. Add the icing and pop back into the oven for another 5 - 10 mins so the icing melts and bubbles. really yummy and it sort of goes fudgy as the icing soaks into the base. Discovered by accident when 10 year old didn't read the instructions and put the icing on before going into the oven

Eggsquisite Easter Baskets 4 Shredded wheat biscuits - crumbled
3/4 cup Peanut Butter
3/4 cup Butterscotch chips

Mix peanut butter and chips over low heat or place in microwave until melted. Add shredded wheat. Cool slightly, then mold into baskets - wonderfully yucky! Try shaping over back of bowl. Place baskets in fridge to set.
Fill nests with Easter eggs and/or candy. Little nests filled with jellybeans are delightful.

abbey_magick - 2006-04-05 16:32:00

Ill be having a go at the first 2 ones the las i will have to wait for butterscotch chips to arrive when i find some to buy and have shipped from the U.S.

Cornbread or muffins 1c flour, 1c fine cornmeal, 1/2c sugar, 1/2t salt, 1 rounded T baking powder. 2 eggs, 2T oil, 250ml skim milk. Mix dry ingredients in larger bowl, mix wet ingredients in smaller bowl & add to dry ingredients. Stir just enough to mix, put into greased (not paper-lined) jumbo (or regular) muffin tins. Bake at 210C for 20-25min for jumbo muffins, a bit less for regular.

lennyb1 - 2006-04-06 10:57:00

Now for the riff on cornbread... Last night I tried to make cornbread to get rid of some grains & flours from my cupboards, but didn't have quite enough, so started substituting, & here is the result. I only had a scant 1/2c flour, so added 4 crumbled Weet-Bix & about *that* much rolled oats (1/2c?), and made the tablespoon of baking powder heaping to compensate, also doubled the salt. I thought I'd better compensate for that, so added about 275ml milk instead of 250. I also added a dash of cayenne & a lump of peanut butter about the size of 3-4T worth. This looked a bit wet, so I dumped in the rest of the cornmeal (1/3c?). This all went into a 20cm square pan & baked for 35min at 200C. Would you know, it came out great?

lennyb1 - 2006-04-06 11:06:00

Many thanks to contributors Got the files from the website, and have to say it is one of the best recipe resources I have ever seen. What a great community.

My daughter will just have to carry on picking out the raisins that she hates, as we've all decided that they have to stay in the recipe!!!!

Coconut macaroons Easiest ever! Combine 2 beaten eggs, 140g (2/3c) caster sugar, & about 160g coconut (desiccated okay). Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheet & bake in preheated 190C oven for about 10 minutes, until lightly browned. (Let cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from baking sheet, though.)

wow i can not believe this thread is still going strong after how many months kob ??? good on all you girls doing home baking , yesterday i made a triple batch of pikelets and a HUGE fruit cake for my clan, mostly all gone now tho , great to see the thread still going , weel done.

bams1 - 2006-04-28 17:41:00

Smiley_cherub Sorry for late response about macaroons. The recipe I posted above uses whole eggs, believe it or not. The original recipe called for a lot more coconut (225g), & to be shaped into little pyramids (it was a Passover recipe, meant to remind us of Egypt). But the first time I made it, I assumed 225g meant one imperial-measure cup. Nooo. The resulting cookies were a mess, way too wet, but they tasted better than the pyramids when I made them properly. So here you see a compromise that tasted great, & sooo easy!

lennyb1 - 2006-04-28 21:39:00

Yummy Muesli Bars - healthy!! 125g butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 3T honey or golden syrup, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 egg, 1 cup flour (can use wholemeal), 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 3/4 cup rolled oats, 2 cups 'add-ins' (dried fruit, nuts, seeds, choc chips)

Mix well together in bowl. Press into greased or baking papered baking tin. Mod oven for 25-30 mins. These keep well and can be frozen (but not in our house!!)
