I did the pepper mint slice Just finished icing it , and it looks yummy, also did a caramel square, ( my kids call it chewing gum cake cos i brown the top of the caramel and it sometimes goes chewy)Seems me and kob have the same idea!!(you are not a libra are you kob?)about getting it done before this sunday i might get to do some extra training or mow the lawns ,or maybe i'll just lay around and read.

nope Bams Virgo but sometimes it kills me to be orginised , especially trying to work as well, I bake all week long at work and even though i love it sometimes if i can get mine done before the weekend , it gives me abit of me time

2 eggs,
1 cup of mashed bananas,

Porridge Buns Hi, wow - took me about half an hour to skim through all these messages and I couldn't resist adding a fave little recipe of my own - actually I am surprised that I beat bams1 to adding it, after all, I'm pretty sure I got the recipe off her in the first place - isn't that right Mum!
Porridge Buns
1 cup cold porridge, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 egg, 1 Tbl butter, milk. Beat eggs and sugar, add porridge, then butter, flour and baking powder. Add milk to make stiff dough. Drop on oven tray in spoonfuls and Bake 180 degrees for about 15 minutes (if you make them as big as I do they can take about 1/2 hour).

These are yummy, easy, and fool proof. I've found them really nice by adding raisins and cinnamon, or feijoas and apples which I preserved last year. Even if they don't rise - they still taste good. Great as a warm, quick lunch on the weekends.

Ha Ha nighteyes yes you beat me , was thinking of you earlier check out the thread for caramel mud cake it sounds just like your sort of thing was going to email the recipe to you but now you've found the recipe thread i don't need to !!!!

Porridge...mmmm Funny thing. My husband and I were just talking about porridge this morning. He hates it. Had to stir the pot for his Mum making it for 10 kids. Then he remembers the other kids rushing home from school to eat the cold left overs. I laughed and asked had his Mum ever made a porridge cake - No she hadn't - now I see this recipe for porridge buns. Can't wait to try them - I won't tell him what they are of course.

S T I C K Y T O F F E E P U D D I N G Hi gals, here's a good one for warming your tummies this winter!!
1cup dates (180g), pitted and chopped.
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup soft brown sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups sifted self-raising flour
TOFFEE SAUCE:
1 cup soft brown sugar
3/4 cup full cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons butter
Method:
Mix dates and baking soda in heat-proof bowl, pour boiling water on top and leave to stand for 1 hour.
Cream butter and sugar until pale, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gently fold in sifted flour, add date mixture, then pour into a lightly greased 18cm (7") square or round cake tin.
Bake in pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30-40 minutes, until an inserted skewer comes clean.
Combine sugar, cream, vanilla and butter in a saucepan, bring to the boil, stirring and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside until ready to use, then quickly reheat when needed.
Cut pudding into slices, place in centre of warmed pudding bowls

Way to go Bams sorry, am a wee bit late here but have to say nothing beats homemade baking. If you knew just what crap is in prepackaged foods it would blow your socks off!!Plus..it's the thought that counts too...I know my family appreciates homemade stuff more because of the effort you put into it (whether it turns out great or not!)And ooh great recipes by the way....

chrissybabes - 2004-06-10 21:55:00
175

thanks chrissybabes your right , it is the thought that counts too and your also right about the "whether it turns out or not" sometimes the flops are the best!!!and get eaten even if they are not good too.

Not sure if it was on this thread or another one with slices on it..But kob posted a recipe for meusli bars make with apricot muffin mix..I could not get that at two supermarkets and in the end I bought Betty Crocker blueberry muffin mix..I was suprised to find the blueberrys in a can so I kept those and will make real muffins with them...I used the dry ingredients of the muffin mix, plus added chopped apricots and instead of a cup of meusli which I didn't have I used 1/1cup rolled oats, 1/4cup ricies,1/4cup cornies and a few sunflower seeds and chopped almonds...added the 150g melted butter and the 1/2cup (or maybe it was 1/4 I can't remember) of orange juice and baked about 25minutes and it is so yummy we can't stop eating it..so thanks again kob

Caramel mud cake I made the one that was posted on the recipe site during the week. Bloody gorgeous (although you have to read through the recipe properly and work out what to do with the butter and white choc.) I also added a mashed banana to it, which turned it into a banoffie caramel mud cake. Totally decadent! I'm actually on a diet (lost 9kgs so far) so this was a real treat.

what great recipes! thanks so much, but can I ask for one thing please. Esp Kob and bams1, can you tell me the size tins you use for each recipe. Im thinking if I put a recipe in too big or too small a tin, its not going to turn out right. I have enough problems getting edible baking LOL And what is a swiss roll tin? Is that like a loaf tin? Thanks so much, cant wait to get started on this lot :)Oh and when doubling a recipe, do you double everything?

gennelle - 2004-06-27 19:23:00
196

swiss roll tin is a tray that you would make a slice in , about 35cm long x 20 cm wide , 4 cm deep.Or if you double the recipes make it in a roasting tray.

bams1 - 2004-06-27 20:18:00
197

thanks bams :) ok someone tell me the secret to creaming sugar and butter. Also I made the afghan recipe in post #89 I think it is, and after mixing it all up, it was real dry. When putting on to tray I had to mould it together in my hands. What did I do wrong? I used the exact amount of ingredients listed. Man, I know theres a reason why I dont bake often hahaha
