Hello everyone,
following on from the breadmaking (which is still going well) i decided to start baking cakes and puddings. everyone who knows me- knows what a sweet tooth i have! i have made some lovely crumbles too, with custard, ice cream, or cream. its making my mouth water just thinking about it. I also made cherry cakes and mixed fruit cakes which didnt last very long i can tell you!
Helpful money saving tip- dont buy expensive crumble topping mix from your supermarket- make it yourself it is very easy...
100g/4oz flour
50g/20z butter or margarine
50g/2oz sugar (castor sugar will do)
mix it with your fingers until it resembles bread crumbs. I usually make double the amount and keep it in the fridge until i need it. It tastes so much nicer than packet mixes, and is a fraction of the cost.
Meanwhile Bryan has been making home-made soups. Not just any soups - Bryans recipe! my favourite one is onion, although his mushroom and butternut squash ones are really tasty. If anyone would like a receipe which really is nice and has been tried and tested by me, drop me an email! tonypne@aol.com
