Low Calorie salad dressing.
1 cup vinegar. I used my own vinegar. white vinegar would be nice. 1 cup of water 1/4 cup of chopped mint leaves 1/2 tsp hot English mustard 1/4 tsp celery seeds 1/2 tsp sea salt 1/4 tsp ground pepper ##bring to boil then thicken using 2 level Tbsp cornflour 3 Tbsp vinegar 3 Tbsp water ##add 1 tsp of Sucaryl. stir while it cools.
I have just made this, tastes good. I will keep you posted, as to how long it will keep. This was superb on a lamb salad. It will be just as nice used as a dressing for any green salad, or new potato salad.

egg yolk custard
put into a bowl 6 egg yolks, 1/3 cup of cornflour, whisk in 1 cup of milk. set aside. Put in a saucepan 1 & 1/4 cups of whole milk, 2 tsp vanilla sprinkle over the milk 2/3 cup of sugar Do not stir, put on stove and watch for it to simmer. Add a little hot milk into the cold, while whisking, maybe half, then pour it back into the saucepan, return to the heat. I turned my element down by 1/4. stir with a wooden spoon until it is nice and thick. This custard sets real fast, as soon as I noticed it thickening I removed it from the stove, kept whisking while it finished cooking. I have covered it with cling film to stop it skinning over

I revisited this recipe tonight, I added more vinegar, and reduced the sugar by 1 cup. Added 1 more Tbsp of curry powder. I felt it resembled the old "Musto pickles", and was as easy.

pickles' recipes are like those of a latter day Aunt Daisy.They run the full gamut and there's always a bit of conversation going on along the way.In another time and place she might have had her own radio show.

This is an excellent cake if you have a large family or just want to impress people. Gets moister by the day so stays nice and fresh very similar to mud cake.

7 Seeded bread
I have just cooked a nice loaf. I started it in the bread maker and finished it in my oven. 2 teaspoons of flax seeds soaked in 2 Tbsp boiling water, left to cool. I put into the bread maker 3 cups of flour 1 cup of, seven seed grain mix [pak n save] 2 Tbsp milk powder 1&1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp sugar 2 Tbsp soft butter 1 tsp bread improver 3 tsp dried sure to rise yeast 350 mils of warm water.. It is now I put the flax seeds in. Set the bread maker to seeded bread and let it knead and rise once. I then took the dough out, shaped it, put it into the bread tin, oiled the top and left it for 1 hour in the airing cupboard covered with a damp cloth. I baked it @ 220%C for 15 minutes, turned the tin, baked a further 15 minutes, turned the oven down to 180%C for a further 15 minutes. To finish it off I removed the loaf from the tin and gave it 5 minutes so the bottom reached the same colour as the top. It is a very nice loaf, tasty.
