craftyhunnypie Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I've made some homemade burgers. Some lean minced steak, onions, spring onions, coriander, Lea & Perrins, mustard & various spices to suit - All bound together with a freshly laid egg. Five nice sized burgers ready for grilling later with cheese on the top, beef tomatoes & BBQ sauce. Too rainy for the barbie. Having with some of my sister's main crop potatoes & veg.

The Dogmother Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I've just made an orange and poppy seed cake, will see how it is before I post the recipe. It's a sort of drizzle cake and has ground almonds in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I was going to make some friands (which are in the Waitrose mag) but didn't have ground almonds. Would ground walnuts work as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I thought you typed that you were 'going to make some friends'.... sorry No, they are too oily and a stronger taste. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Thank you. I thought they might have been too strong and they can be a bit to bitter. I was in town this morning and forgot to get some ground almonds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 For dinner we had mustard mash, wilted spinach with nutmeg, baked smoked haddock and poached egg with a mustard and olive oil dressing. Was very delish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Erm, me again I have finally made some friands and they are really very nice. Perfect for a picnic. I made some in a shallow fairy cake tin and some in a muffin tin. The fairy cake ones are nice and crisp with a little bit of softness in the middle. Not tried the muffin tin ones yet, but will do after dinner. Anyhoo heres the recipe Sunflower oil, for greasing 100g blueberries 65g plain flour, plus extra for dusting the tin 115g unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing 100g ground almonds 165g icing sugar, sifted, plus extra for dusting 6 eggs, whites only Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Grease and flour a non-stick 12-hole muffin tin. Mix together the flour, ground almonds and icing sugar. Stir in the egg whites until just combined, then stir in the melted butter. Spoon the batter to about 2cm deep in each hole of the muffin tin. Arrange a few blueberries on top of each. Bake for 30-35 minutes until pale gold. The friands should spring back when touched. Remove from the oven and leave in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool. Dust with a little icing sugar before serving. I will say I didn't cook them for the 30/35 mins. In the muffin tin I cooked them for about 20 minutes and the shallow tin for about 10 minutes. I also used raspberries and blackcurrants instead of blueberries.

chickencam Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Chocolate melting in the middle puddings from Baking Made Easy, they were very rich. I made them for ED's 18th birthday and you can tell when something is rich when you need to have cream with it to cut through the richness There was a shocking amount of butter, chocolate and eggs in these, but they tasted divine.

TutuTallulah Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Cinnabons Absolutely scrummy straight from the oven, they have been pretty much demolished before they'd even gone cool. Might have to wait a while before making more, give my waistline time to recover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
