Think of it this way, mixing by hand is a great workout.

Scones and pikelets always go down well with the blokes. Lots of loaf and cake recipes don't need creaming - they are melt the butter recipes.

WOW WOW WOW thanks so much! I just love the TMMB for reason of giving and giving and giving. Its made my night I am going to make all of these recipes over the next 4 days. I am so looking forward to getting a new mixer in the coming week or so but in the mean time I can do all of these recipes and still look like a pro! I will enjoy baking these and while doing so I will be thinking of the wonderful people on here who have given their time to give them to me.

Banana Cake
2 1/2 cups flour 1 2/3 cup sugar 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda dissolved in 2/3 cup milk ¾ cup melted butter 3 mashed bananas 2 eggs
Put ingredients together, lastly eggs and melted butter. Beat all 2 minutes (just normal stirring with your hand - can just do it gently. I'm never that careful with the 2 mins bit). Bake ¾ - 1 hour 180oC.
I have always made this in a ring tin and it comes out lovely and high and moist. Not sure how it will turn out in other types of tins.

Add to 3 to 4 cups of self-raising flour and mix with a knife. Oven at 230oC for about 10 mins. Hope you enjoy them! Yummo!

What about homemade chicken pies using prerolled puff pastry. Cut a sheet into four & lay out in oiled muffin pans. Cook your chicken breast in a pan with a bit of oil & curry powder. Cook a creme of chicken soup with half the water. Add chicken, then spoon in to the pastry. Twist the tops closed and bake for about 20mins til lovely & brown
I would think so, but you can use any veggies you like! Or try with mixed herbs or rosemary. I have never made them with out the veggies or with the herbs added. Let me know how they go!!
