Do people really still feed their children this much butter, sugar and white flour?
Agreed muddler and better than all those numbers / colours / flavours and chemicals in the over-processed garbage some people still refer to as 'food'.

This is and Alison Holst recipe:
Spiced Apple Muffins
• 1 cup self-raising flour • 1 cup (fine) rolled oats • 3/4 cup brown sugar • 2 tsp mixed spice • 2 tsp cinnamon • 1/2 tsp ground cloves • 1/2 tsp baking soda • 1/2 tsp salt
• 75 grams butter • 1 egg • 1 cup raw chopped or grated apple • 1 cup milk
Measure the dry ingredient into a large mixing bowl and mix well with your fingers to ensure that the rolled oats and brown sugar are mixed evenly through the other ingredients. Melt the butter until liquid then add the egg and 3/4 cup of the milk, and beat with a fork until mixed. Next, grate or chop the apple in a food processor. Press it into the cup, removing air bubbles, then stir it into the liquids. (Work quickly to prevent the apple browning.) Add the apple and liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and mix lightly to dampen the ingredients, adding as much of the extra 1/4 cup of milk as you need. Coat 12 medium-sized muffin pans with non-stick spray and divide the mixture between them. Bake at 200°C for 12-15 minutes or until the muffins spring back when pressed.

I find that recipehorrid, has a 'cake' like texture, not like a real scone should be. I aways use the good old faithful Edmonds recipe, BUT always use buttermilk instead of milk. The secret is to form a soft dough without kneading the death out of them. I pat mine out to and inch or so high and end up with a good 2inch high fluffy scone. Try making your cakes, pikelets, pancakes or scones with buttermilk, you will be amazed how much better the result is !

If you think buttermilk is expensive to use, I have a method toget triple the amount out of 1 carton. I don't mean by using lemon juice and milk either. it's just not the same.

I use a well cleaned 1.5 litre glass bottle ( the ocean spray juice bottle). Pour the carton of buttermilk in and top up to base of the neck with normal milk. Shake gently. Leave unrefrigerated placeuntil the milk has cultured .A yoghurt maker would speed things up here. Refrigerate. Will keep up to 3 weeks.

For the sticky lemon slice I keep a little of the base over and sprinkle it on top of the lemon mix before placing back in the oven.It also successfully doubles, this is the only way I make it now, absolutley delish

Thanks gemini and pam.delilah for the recipes, I'm going to try them very soon.
rainbowpride, I have looked into jaxma books for a caramel mudcake recipe but there isn't one (maybe is a chocolate caramel slice?). There is a recipe for Mississippi mudcake(which I have tried and my family liked it), here it is:
1 tablespoon instant coffee ½ cup water 100gr dark cooking chocolate 100gr butter 1 cup sugar 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons either sherry, whisky or brandy 1 teaspoon vanilla 1¼ cup flour ½ teaspoon baking soda
Heat the coffee, water,broken chocolate,butter and sugar in a saucepan, cook until chocolate has melted, and sugar dissolved stirring at intervals, cool at room temperature, then stir in the brandy or whisky.Beat the eggs with the vanilla in a food processor or bowl.Sift the flour and baking soda together, then combine the threeingredients, process or whisk justlongenoughto getasmooth mixture, which is thinner than most other cake mixtures.Line the bottom of a 6 cup baking ring tin with baking paper, pour in mixture and bake at 150o C for about an hour.
Melt chocolate with cream in a saucepan,stirring until smooth, but don’t over cook otherwise it will burn.Spread onto cake.
hope it helps
