moochoo Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Here's a blast from the past a great recipe for chocolate concrete! Ingredients: 8oz plain flour 6oz sugar plus some to sprinkle 6oz butter/margarine 1 egg 2 tbsp cocoa powder Method: Pre heat oven to gas mark 3 or equivalent Put all the dry ingredients into a bowl Melt the butter Add the egg and butter to the dry ingredients and mix Prepare baking tin about 12" x 8" x 1 " Put mixture into the tin and spread evenly Brush the top with water and sprinkle with sugar Bake in the oven at gas mark 3 for 45 minutes - less for a softer 'crete, more for a harder one (DENTURES BEWARE!!!) Cool after baking for 5 minutes in the tin, then cut into squares Enjoy hot or cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moochoo Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Glad you've used the recipe and it's worked ok. I find because it's so quick to knock together it's good for short notice visitors It should keep for a while too - not that it ever does.
