A spotty kind of day...

FRECKLE SLICE

185g butter
220g nutella
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 3/4 cups plain flour, sifted
200g freckles


1. Pre-heat oven to 160degrees. Grease a slice tin and line base and sides with baking paper.

2. Beat butter, nutella and sugar with an electric mixer until combined.

3. Press dough into tin; smooth surface with a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes.

4. Remove pan from oven; press freckles firmly into slice about 2cm apart. Cool slice before cutting.


**Notes

- Recipe taken from: 'Kids' Cake Favourites' by the Women's Weekly.
- When smoothing and spreading the mix into the pan, I found it helped to warm the spatula under hot water to aid the smoothing process.
- When ready to eat, result is a combination of cookie and fudge. It's nice!

There's no place like Home...

Hi all :)

I'm back from my overseas adventure - and what an adventure!

I tried some new foods - s'mores anyone? Also: chicken-fried steak, crab, red velvet cake, frozen margarita and more!

I'm very glad to be home and am ready and energised to start blogging about more deliciousness.

Stay tuned....

Hidden goodness...

APPLE & SULTANA MUFFINS

 
2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder

¼ cup oil
1 ¼ cups low fat milk
½ cup grated carrot
½ cup sultanas
½ cup grated apple
2 tbs coconut
¾ cup raw sugar
 
 
1. Stir all ingredients together in a large bowl, lighting mixing to combine.
 
2. Grease a 12 muffin pan or pop in patty cases - less messy!
 
3. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin.
 
4. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes in a 200degree oven.
 

**Notes

-          Recipe taken from an old Safeway catalogue circa 2009

-          I find about one large carrot makes enough for ½ cup grated

-          One apple is enough for ½ cup grated

-          I rarely have raw sugar, so I substitute brown sugar

-          I like to make small muffins, so I can have one with a piece of fruit for a snack. If you feel the same, just put less mix in each patty case.

-          These freeze really well. I pop them into individual sealable bags, then microwave for a few seconds to thaw them. Then I put butter on them and they are yummy :)
