Porridge Buns Hi, wow - took me about half an hour to skim through all these messages and I couldn't resist adding a fave little recipe of my own - actually I am surprised that I beat bams1 to adding it, after all, I'm pretty sure I got the recipe off her in the first place - isn't that right Mum! Porridge Buns 1 cup cold porridge, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 egg, 1 Tbl butter, milk.Beat eggs and sugar, add porridge, then butter, flour and baking powder.Add milk to make stiff dough.Drop on oven tray in spoonfuls and Bake 180 degrees for about 15 minutes (if you make them as big as I do they can take about 1/2 hour).
These are yummy, easy, and fool proof.I've found them really nice by adding raisins and cinnamon, or feijoas and apples which I preserved last year.Even if they don't rise - they still taste good.Great as a warm, quick lunch on the weekends.

Quick mix choccie cake I love this recipe.used to make it all the time when I was younger & had a hankering for choccie cake, so baked it again today. It's still my fav basic choccie cake ever & is really moist & quick to make. Best eaten when cold (if you can force yourself to wait). I double the mixture. 90g butter or marg; 2 T cocoa (sifted); 1 C self-raising flour (sifted); 1 C sugar; 1/2 C milk; 2 eggs; 1/2 t vanilla. Melt butter. Add all ingrediants. Beat for 5 minutes (or until smooth). Bake approx 45 mins at 180 deg. (check after 30 mins).

Then, if you want to ice it. Try spreading jam on it first. Then choccie icing (icing sugar, cocoa & water) & top with dessicated coconut. Yum.

traditionally choc cake was "apricotised" or however you'd like to translate it. Meaning it was covered in apricot jam - then came the icing on top! Very lovely!

I finally got to page 55 woooohoooooo so now that I have taken all the recipes I want I thought I had better contribute at least 1 recipe.
I made these for a catering job last week and they were a hit.
Cranberry and Date Scones
50 gms butter (melted and cooled down for a few minutes). 1 egg 1.5 cups milk (to this I add 1 tbsp of white vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes). Combine the aboveand mix well. Add by mixing with a knife to 3 large cups self raising flour 1/4 cup dried cranberries and 1/4 cup of chopped dates.
Bake 230 for 10 mins.
Being a baker by trade I will often find recipes and play around with them until I get the result I like.

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

Date pie Got this recipe from a Middle Eastern cooking class years ago. Great because it needs very little butter.
1 ½ c flour 1/3 c salad oil 1/3 c water ½ tsp yeast ½ tsp salt 1Tbsp sesame seeds
Filling: 250gm dates, 1 tsp butter
Heat oil until boiling. Combine flour, sesame seeds and salt in bowl. Pour the hot oil into the bowl and stir the mixture. Add the water and yeast, mix and cover for 15 minutes.

Date pie (cont) Preheat oven to 200C. Cut dough into small balls. Mash the dates and butter and fill each ball with some date mixture. Place balls on oven tray and bake for 15-20 min.

Porridge.mmmm Funny thing. My husband and I were just talking about porridge this morning.He hates it.Had to stir the pot for his Mum making it for 10 kids. Then he remembers the other kids rushing home from school to eat the cold left overs.I laughed and asked had his Mum ever made a porridge cake - No she hadn't - now I see this recipe for porridge buns.Can't wait to try them - I won't tell him what they are of course.
