chch_gal - 2004-08-19 09:29:00

Happy to hand them on Nice to know there is so many mums out there who still like to bake , last weekend i did the usual banana cake in a roasting dish - gone ,also a louise cake in a roasting dish-gone, and some anzac bikkies still a couple left , and 2 dozen dates muffins enough left for school lunches tomorrow-hell i wish these boys would stop growing ,actually the girls are just as bad just not hungry as often!Never mind no bananas left in the freezer so this weekend it will be a chocy cake, have fun ladies.

bams1 - 2004-08-19 19:56:00

I made oat crunchies (recipe from Interwebtech) and before that I made white chocolate version of Nestles kiwi crisps.

Great Thread I love baking too, but its not a daily treat at our place.

DD and I are going to try out some of those yummy sounding recipes - but we use brown sugar and wholemeal flour for our cooking. It doesn't seem to affect the results much, and at least we're getting more of the goodness in the food.

With 7 of us, bikkies usually don't last more than a few hours . . .

I attempted a double batch of evrything yesterday. Double of American slice, choc chip bicks and savoury muffins. All turned out tasty but the choc chip spread like eagles wings. i put tiny spoonfuls onto the try and they spread like buggery so i ended up doing like 10 to a tray. I was in the kitchen all afternoon.
Today i am making caramel slice and weetbix slice. Thanx to all who helped me get back into baking!!!! I Love It!!

chch_gal - 2004-08-20 09:20:00

Well I've Decided.......... I'm going to have a Baking Sunday Just like Bams1 As I need to seriosly try and cut down the Shopping Bill, Today i went to Binn Inn And bought Bulk S/F flour , 2kgs Soft brown sugar, 1kg Scone Mix, Oh and some nice Crystalised Ginger. When I went to the supermarket I bought the Cheapest Butter, Cheese, Eggs, Bread, Mince, Got some Soup bones with quite a bit of meat on, Lots of veggies, Cut out all buiscuits and will make my own.I have plenty time on my hands so I have no excusse, Iam determined to Bake every Sunday, Just like My nanna did when I was Young:-)

j_d_stevo - 2004-08-20 18:25:00

By The way ......... I saved $50 on what I normally spend Yipeeeeeee~!!

j_d_stevo - 2004-08-20 18:27:00

One problem....... I will have to go and Buy some more Baking tins especially if I am going to bulk bake.

j_d_stevo - 2004-08-20 18:29:00

i hear ya on that one j_d i am lacking cake tins etc....i dont wanna buy second hand as i want to keep them 4ever but yet i dont want to buy budget either for the same reason!! Think i might just buy one a week and start my Sunday baking in a month or so.

chch_gal - 2004-08-20 19:55:00

Its hard to find good quality bakeware All the stuff at Kmart. supermarket etc just seems to be junk - the coatings come off after a few uses.

I find garage sales great for finding good sturdy old tins & trays, but you have to spend the time.

jille - 2004-08-20 20:29:00

GOOD ON YA GUYS Baking does save heaps and is more filling for the kids too which seems a never ending job to fill them up.I usually do my baking on a sunday cos then the kids get to have fresh stuff for their lunches and what ever ( or IF) there is stuff left in the tins they have to finish it off over the weekend so i can refill on sunday- Miss 4 loves to help and is my cheif stirrer the others just try to distract me so they can pinch the mixture.

bams1 - 2004-08-20 20:33:00

i buy in bulk too get a 5kg of budget plain flour and a 5 kg sugar,from the super market ( i found that cheaper than the bin inn) but the rest i get from the bin inn or buy when its on special -like choc chips,cocoa, etc.tell you what is really yummy (this is for the person who bought the ginger) i make my choc chip recipe, add cocoa and cut up ginger - very nice.I find it really funny at christmas when people give us those big boxes of biscuits -the kids go ape cos bought bikkies are such a treat !!!

bams1 - 2004-08-20 20:38:00

Bams 1 Made Your special Chocolate Cake Today In a Very large Cake Tin, t was fab, my boys had friends around, Only one small slice left now, I think I will hide it. Baking Lots of Buiscuits and Slices Tomorrow, Thanks

j_d_stevo - 2004-08-21 19:52:00

bams1 - aren't children funny? Mine love bought bikkies too, but we hardly ever buy them.

Whenever we go to a "do" and there's a selection of bikkies they always go for anything sticky or pink (home made or not).

They saw Shrewsberry's for the first time last week (not sure what they call them here). Of course they knew instinctively what to do - pick out the jam!

jille - 2004-08-22 20:41:00

this week I made.. marshmallow rice bubble slice, and raspberry and white chocolate muffins. YUM

zellas - 2004-08-23 09:58:00

re - kids are funny They sure are - mine go for those wafer biscuits - the pink ones of course, and yes shrewsberries are a fav too -xmas is a good time of year we usually get given lots of those big packs of bikkies so i get time off baking and the kids get a treat-can't see the attraction myself they all taste like plastic!

does anyone have ...... any easy slice recipes to share that are not really sweet. My husband is not 1 for the sweet caramel slice type recipes (my favs !) so Im always looking out slices that you dont ice. I tried the chocolate raspberry slice with jam but he said that tasted too much of cocoa .. fussy huh !! Thanks in advance :-)

Ginger Crunch Why not try replacing some of the flour with Rice Bubbles. It should just be trial and error. I don't see why it wouldn't work. as long as the texture looks okay you should get the same result.

sammie55 - 2004-08-24 19:37:00

Oh boy oh boy If I wasn't on a diet I would so be trying to cook all these yummy things (trying being the opperative word of course). It makes me think of all the yummy things my mother used to bake when I was a child. (sigh) damn diet!

Google rocks... Hey, was doing a search on google for a rice bubble slice & it came up with this message board ... I don't have any kids and I bake every now & then for my partner and myself ... admittedly it doesn't last very long, but nothing beats home baking ... except maybe when my mum or nana bakes :)

ripcurlchickie - 2004-09-01 20:44:00

Yogurt Raisin & Cinnamon Slice I have enjoyed making lots of the other recipes that have been posted here so I decided to add I make a lot.
125g butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar (200g), 2 eggs, 1 t vanilla essence
1/1/2 cups flour, 1 t baking powder, 3/4 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup raisins, 2 t cinnamon. Cream butter, sugar, add eggs and vanilla, mix well. sift in flour and bp. Fold in yogurt. Pour half mixture into 18x28 greased slice tin. Sprinkle over premixed raisins and cinnamon. Cover with remaining mixture and bake mod oven 40-50 minutes. Serve dusted with icing sugar.

I made a different version yesterday- omit raisins, cinnamon, vanilla essence. Add coconut essence to mixture. Spread banana icecream topping (about 1/4 cup)over bottom layer and sprinkle with coconut, top with rest of mixture. Ice when cold with lemon icing. Yummmmmm.
