GOLD SUGAR BUNS 1 breakfast cup flour; 1/4 tspn grated nutmeg; 1 heaped tspn baking powder; 1 Tablespoon sugar; 1 tspn salt; 1 rounded Tablespoon golden syrup; 2 Tablespoons milk;1 egg; 60g butter; a little more milk and sugar
Sift flour with baking powder, salt & sugar. Rub in butter, add nutmeg & golden syrup. Whisk egg, and add milk to egg.Then add to dry ingredients. Tip out onto a floured board and roll to 1/2 inch thickness. ( I'm not sureabout the thickness, recipe says 1/2 inch but I feel I probably do a bit thicker) Stamp into plain rounds. Brush with milk and dip in sugar. Place on a cold tray and drop a little more sugar on top of each bun. Bake at 400 degrees F about 8-10 minutes. Butter when cold.

Konga my Mum's secret to make the lasagne 'set' is to whisk an egg into the cheese sauce before pouring over the lasagne.It works a treat and makes it even more delicious!

post 57 - re the Edmonds Book, I so agree with you Brianmac. I consider myself to be a good baker too (years of exoerience) and the only thing i use the Edmonds Book for is Mustard Sauce and as a guide to preserving. Their baking recipes are shocking and do not turn out a patch on what I call good baking. The loaves are doughy, the cakes are flavourless and very dry, even the photos in the book show the poor quality of the baked goods.

I love the Edmonds cookbook. I find the recipes in there turn out really well.The afghans are great as are the cupcakes.The dumplings for stews are lovely and light.The carrot cake is gorgeous.Hehehe I guess we all just find things that work better for us in different places.

Kiwiscraper Yeast drink Yes we also had these when we were kids, presuming it is of course the same. Ours were made with yeast and sugar, put in the airing cupboard for the night -in the morning it was frothy and fizzy. Yum.
