the kindergarten my daughter goes too is trying to get a cookbook with basic recipes and ingredients together for a fundraiser.
I was wondering if any of you would mind sharing some recipes for cakes/slices/easy meals etc on here that i could then copy off and use in our cookbook.
If not, thats ok but i'm just trying to get it full and know i have gotten quite a few recipes off here but am unsure if we could then use them in a kindy's cookbook.
(hope that all makes sense)
Will check back later
Thanks Toni-Ann

Here are two of my favourites that I share on here all the time.
Caramel Crusted Rhubarb Pudding
¾ cup flour 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ cup rolled oats ¼ cup white sugar 100g melted butter Stewed rhubarb (and or apple) ¾ cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon custard powder or cornflour ¼ cup boiling water
Preheat oven to 180c. Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add rolled oats and white sugar. Mix in melted butter to make a crumble mixture. Sprinkle over rhubarb. In the discarded bowl, combine brown sugar and custard powder. Spoon over crumble mix. Carefully pour over the boiling water. Do not stir. Oven bake for 30 minutes.
Muesli Bars
1 ½ cups rolled oats (big are best) 1 cup ricies or puffed wheat 4 crushed weetbix 1 cup long coconut 1 cup dried fruit ½ cup nuts ½ cup seeds ¾ cup brown sugar ½ cup honey ½ cup peanut butter 125g butter
Melt sugar, honey, peanut butter and butter. Simmer 5 minutes stirring constantly. Add to combined dry ingredients, mix well. Press mixture into flat tin lined with paper. Cool in fridge. Cut and keep in fridge.
Good luck with your book. I think it's a fantastic idea. Pam

Crock Pot Pumpkin Soup
Ingredients 1oz (30g) butter 2lb (1kg) Pumpkin – peeled and cut into inch square pieces 1 medium onion 2 cloves stuck into the onion 2 tspn sugar salt to taste – pinch 2½ cup Chicken Stock 1 cup Milk Method 1. Place butter and pumpkin in crock pot and put onto high. When butter has melted, stir to coat pumpkin and cook for 1 hour on high. (If in hurry, just wait for butter to melt, stir and go to step 2 ignore the hour cooking – still turns out great just slightly less intense flavour). 2. Add onion, sugar, salt and stock. Cover and cook for 8-9 hours on Low OR 4-5 hours on High. 3. When ready to serve, remove the onion. 4. Puree soup in a blender or use a hand held device. 5. Add milk, to achieve correct consistency. (DO NOT add milk if intending on freezing – just freeze as is. Can add milk when thawed). 6. Serve with a sprinkling of Nutmeg and a dollop of sour cream
* 1 cup water * 1/2 cup sugar * 2 tablespoons Golden syrup or honey * 1 tablespoon butter
METHOD
Sift flour into a bowl. and rub in the butter until it is like breadcrumbs. Beat the egg and milk together, and carefully mix with the flour to make a soft dough. Do not over-mix as this will make the dumplings tough.
Place the water, sugar, butter and golden syrup into a large saucepan and bring to the boil.
Drop in teaspoonfuls of the dough, cover with a lid and simmer over a moderate heat for about 12 minutes or so until cooked. Remove from the heat and serve with warm runny custard or ice-cream.
Serves 4 - 6 people
