| 202 | genelle I don't know if there is a secret to creaming butter and sugar, but I always find it easier if the butter is fairly soft (and you don't get bits flung all round the kitchen!), and it always takes longer than you think it should to get creamy. Regarding your afghans - all the afghans I've ever made do that,I tend to roll them into balls with my hands and then gently squash them to get a biscuit shape. Hope that helps! zellas - 2004-06-28 10:44:00 |
| 203 | yep gennelle helps if you begin with soft (but not melted butter) and cream with an electric beater for ages! The colour of the butter goes pale and it is creamy but still with grains of sugar all thru it. You don't have to cream for ages but I find the longer I cream the butter and sugar the better the end result. smileeah - 2004-06-28 13:41:00 |
| 204 | thanks zellas and smileeah maybe thats my problem, Im not creaming it properly. Ok back to the kitchen to try something else :P gennelle - 2004-06-28 14:06:00 |
| 205 | i am so lazy i never cream butter and sugar i always melt the butter what ever the recipe , i don't often have failures( and even they get eaten around here!) - real chefs would hate me but hey it works for me !!!Including scones i melt the butter with the milk and they never fail always light and fluffy and tasty. bams1 - 2004-06-28 16:29:00 |
| 206 | can't wait to get back home and do some more baking. In the meantime I have to make do with Black Forest gateaux and Sacher Torte, which is not too bad by the way. uli - 2004-07-01 08:32:00 |

| 209 | #194 djsh I'm going to try this one next week, sounds interesting, and I love orange cakes, thanks hobbles - 2004-07-06 16:56:00 |
| 210 | Bams1 Rasp Choc Slice..... tastes really good with apricot jam instead of raspberry. I also made Paghan's yummy peanut caramel slice but I think I used too large a slice tin as the base was thin, the caramel was thin so I iced it with choc icing to make it seem a bit thicker. It was really gooey and yum - esp with the honey roasted peanuts I used in it. Thanks guys for the recipes - I was inspired to do the weeks baking with help from my 5 year old. Her contributions were lollie slice (pressed into a tin rather than shaped into a log - easier and less messy) and peach puree cupcakes. We made the Birdseed bar to be a bit healthy - we added linseeds to the mix as well (reduced the sesame seeds quantity). Another yummy slice I recommend is the Cherry Mellow Slice on the back of the Mellow Bake packet. add1 - 2004-07-07 18:32:00 |
| 211 | hey yumm add1 will have to try it with apricot jam ,thanks bams1 - 2004-07-07 21:51:00 |

| 213 | not baking but will slip it in 1/2 a reasonable size pumpkin cut and peeled into small pieces, 3-4 potatoes peeled and cut up small 3 onions cook these slowely with beef or chicken stock just enough to cover and add s/p cook until tender and then puree and add some cream and your away.....i usually use chicken stock homemade of course by just using the juice that the chickens have boiled in, but beef stock is just as good or even the oxo cubes kob - 2004-07-08 06:24:00 |

| 215 | bump back to the top - too many great recipies to lose this thread.... hobbles - 2004-07-16 13:38:00 |
| 216 | Yummy Lemon Slice Crust: 1 1/2c flour, 3/4c castor sugar, 150g butter, cubed....Filling: 4 lrg eggs, 1 3/4c castor sugar, finely grated zest of 3 lemons, 2/3c lemon juice (from 4-5 lemons), 1/3c plain flour......... 1/ Preheat oven to 180°c. Line a 20x35cm cake tin with non stick paper. 2/ Place flour and sugar in food processor and pulse to sift. Add butter and process to resemble fine breadcrumbs. Press into tin (will be crumbly) and bake for 15mins until golden. Remove from oven and reduce oven to 140°c. 3/ Beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Fold in lemon juice and zest, then flour. Pour over crust and bake for 40mins or until set. 4/ Cool completely in tin before cutting into 12 pieces and dusting with icing sugar.........This is a cross between a lemon version of chinese chews and lemon meringue pie. Takes a bit of effort to make if you haven't got a food processor (like me) but is definitely worth it if you like lemon things. smileeah - 2004-07-16 16:33:00 |

| 221 | Yummy Date and Oat Slice and sugar vanilla/choc chip cupcakes. Base and Topping Filling Preheat oven to 180„aC (350F). Grease a sponge roll tin. Base and Topping Mix in the flours, baking soda, and rolled oats. Firmly press half the mixture into the sponge roll tin. Reserve other half. Filling Stir over a low heat until the dates soften to a smooth pulp. You may need to add a little water to them. Spread filling over base.

Makes 12 slices. zellas - 2004-07-26 09:14:00 |

| 246 | Use your freezer I make up a batch of chocolate chip cookies and freeze half the dough in a bar(wrapped in glad wrap). This way I can have fresh cookies as required. The second lot are better as cooling the dough strengthens the gluten. I just take the bar out of the freezer and cut into (about) 1cm thick slices then cook as usual. Its soft emough to cut by the time my oven has reached cooking temperature. shot_gav - 2004-08-16 23:52:00 |
| 247 | pretty much all the biscuits that I have listed are ok the freeze uniced, i wouldn;t freece the slices thought and the cakes well its up to you they are much better fresh but you can freeze uniced as well....i sometimes do if I know I need to have one say for a saturday morning for rugby or something I will freeze it and ice it once defrosted and no one really knows unles you tell them kob - 2004-08-17 06:58:00 |
| 248 | I agree freezing is ok , but the frozen dough method is great too, mine goes to fast to make it to the freezer usually. bams1 - 2004-08-17 16:09:00 |

Im not sure who posted them but i want to say THANKYOU!!!!!! The american slice sunk on me a little but was yummy. The crazy Cake was the best of all. When i first saw the recipe i thought, ewwwwwww, but after trying it i was amazed. It was moist and delicious. So definately try those two recipes. I also made the apple crumble and as always was yummy!! chch_gal - 2004-08-18 09:58:00 |
