    Put half in wet and when you have mixed you add the other half dry. Mine needed less milk (but I used v large eggs).

    That's the thing I don't understand...that family were all quite slim. The mum was actually quite skinny:confused: yet apparently they all ate cakes/puds like they were going out of fashion:rolleyes:

    Something to me doesn't sound quite right about that episode.....I have thought that ever since watching it:o

    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Maybe the mum is like me then. Until I hit 35, I only weighed 7.5 stone. I'm only 8.5 now (I'm 5'6") and I love my cakes and biscuits and lots of full fat cheese!

    Sounds like my husband and kids, no matter how much they eat they are still skinny as rakes...

    Unfortunately it's not a gene I share! :rotfl:

    Found a link to the bran muffin recipe on the bbc website. Remember hearing/reading somewhere that the leftovers in the fridge shouldn't be stirred when you spoon the next batch into tins.
    Looking forward to tonight's show - will try to catch up on this thread before then - it's got soooo long!

    Oh be quiet:p:D:p

    Will everyone stop moaning about the athletics! It's a one off event, Jessica Ennis has won a gold in the Heptathalon and Phillipes Idowu has just one a gold in the triple jump! It's fantastic!

    No one is missing Economy Gastronomy because it isn't on this week.
