baking

[andy]

As the weather's awful, i've been doing some baking today.

Firstly melting moments. A lovely biscuit that my late mother in law showed me how to cook.....

10 oz SR flour
8 oz butter
6 oz caster sugar
1 egg

optional

Glace cherries (halved)
dessicated coconut or crushed cornflakes.

mix the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
add in the flour and egg and mix until a dough is made

Seperate into golf ball sized lumps and roll into the coconut or cornflakes.

Put on greased paper on a baking tray and flatten the balls out with the palms of the hand.

Add half a glace cherry to the middle then bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden

Delish !!!


I'm going to try some brandy snaps later

I make melting moments with my grandchildren Andy - they are delicious
I have never made brandy snaps so would love to know how you get on - then I might have a go

Oh....please feel free to add your recipes

I used this site www.greatbritishkitchen.co.uk/recipes_search.asp?category=Biscuits

I've also done some caramel squares but i used dark brown sugar instead of light and i don't know how it'll turn out

Oh my I haven't eaten home-made brandy snaps for YEARS!!! How did yours turn out Andy, and what did you fill them with - fresh cream hopefully!!! ;D

I like the sound of your melting moments and might give them a go. If they don't get eaten immediately, how long do they keep for, potentially?

Just one question - what temperature do you have the oven at?
