I love copycat recipies. Ones that your local cafe/resturant has, that you can produce yourself, for only a fraction of the price! I couldn't find an existing thread.
+ Starbucks Maple Oat Nut Scones +
2 1/2 Cups Standard Flour 1/2 Cup of Rolled Oats (the whole ones, not the chopped porridge ones) 1 tbsp of Baking powder 1 tsp of cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt 4 tbsp butter 1/3 cup of pecans OR walnuts (they both taste the same to me) 1 large egg 2/3 cup of brown sugar 1/4 cup of whole milk (or half milk and half cream if you have it!) 3 tbsp of Maple Syrup (The real deal is soo much nicer, but imitations will work too!)
+ Method + Preheat oven to 190 Degrees
In a large bowl mix together flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. cut-in the cold butter into the oat mixture until butter is about the size of small peas or breadcrumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Combine egg, brown sugar, milk, and the maple syrup in a medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients and blend with electric mixer until firm. Using your hands mix the dough until you can form it into a ball.
Pat dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 3cm thick. Shape the dough into a rectangle, and then use a pizza wheel or large knife to cut the dough into 6 triangles. Arrange dough triangles on a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until scones begin to turn light brown on the edges.
Drizzle with maple icing (Optional) 1 cup powdered sugar 4 teaspoons whole milk 1/2 teaspoon maple extract or flavoring Mix ingredients till smooth

Bavarian Apple Cake - From "The Lemon Tree Cafe" in Lawrence, Otago

Peel and core the apples and cut into eighths. Mix with sugar, cinnamon, raisins and lemon juice. Spread over the base.
Mix the custard powder with a little cold milk and heat the rest. Stir in and cook until thick. Pour over the apples.

Yum!I just had this last night at Lonestar in Rotorua for my birthday meal - so light and the sauce is so well balanced with the juicy chicken! Will definately be trying to recreate this at home - thanks for the recipe!
Recipe organiser, Yipee just found a cool liitle program I have been trying to organise my computer files, so many down loaded recipes and all in different places. Always forget where I filed them So have spent the last few days trying to find something to use. This program annoyed me at first because you cant change the size of the interface but so simple to use and adapt categories to my personal needs. Even has a few really useful recipes preloaded on it. I just run it beside trademe window so I can copy and paste straight into it. So easy http://download.cnet.com/Recipes-Ship/3000-2126_4-10538212.html?tag=rb_content;main

Does anybody know how to recreate the Chicken Canneloni from Jagz cafe in Invercargill?
I've tried to make it at home but can't get the same flavor or textures.
