lisaroo2 Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks for the replies! The egg bit...how do I know what size to use? Does it matter? My girls lay all sorts of sizes... sorry but I'm not that an experienced cook yet to just guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Weigh your 3 eggs in their shells, & then use the same weight for the fat, flour & sugar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 It is in the Omlet Cookbook on the Wiki too. I make it regularly now. Divine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Jules - that is a good tip with regard to weighing the eggs. I was wondering the other day - I made brownies but the eggs that I bought (marked as "Large") looked a lot smaller than usual, so I added an extra one for good measure. If anybody wants the recipe for the brownies, I'll gladly pop it on here if there isn't one already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I have just made a fairy cake version and very nice they are too Quality control you understand quality control The egg weighing method again. I wanted slightly more mixture so i weighed 4 eggs and did equal quantities of the other ingredients it makes sponge making so much more flexible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I make lemon drizzle cupcakes for the boys lunch boxes. Very popular!! I don't use icing sugar for my topping but do what Mum always used to do. I mix the juice of 1 lemon with 4oz granulated sugar for a lovely crunchy topping. Spoon it over the hot cake or cupcakes and then cool. Divine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Thanks Jules! I do feel abit thick with this cooking lark still... Don't feel thick Lisa - I've found cooking is a life long learning experience! Until I discovered the joys of the Omlet forum, I couldn't cook anything without a recipe book. Now I can throw cakes together in seconds! My husband can forgive my Omlet addiction, as long as the cooking continues to improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 HFW has a great brownie recipe in his Family cookbook, it does have nuts in but you could leave them out. IMO nuts are essential in a brownie to cut through the richness. There is also a great chocolate chunk cookie recipe in the same book.

LJ's Chooks Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Oooh HFW cookbook, now on my list of yummy things. I don't do nuts, but a local coffee shop uses banana instead and that is gorgeous... but they wont give me the recipe!! rats!!!! Claret - you've just cost me 3 pounds... weight and money! Made a lemon drizzle cake for my youngest sons school fair... i didn't have enough ingredients for two, so i had to get up early and go and buy it back before someone else did... is that mad or what.... my hubby has eaten most of it as his midnight treat!!! love him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
