    Quick question....Am about to make the Savoury & Tomatoey Scones

    The Savoury Scones call for 30g of Ready Brek but the Tomatoey Scones call for 200g of Ready Brek :eek: can anyone confirm if that's the correct amount? As there doesn't seem to be much Lard & Veg Oil to bind the ingredients together :undecided

    That's the method for tom scones that I last used, Allegra was the last one to make them I think.. How were they Allegra?

    Maybe try a half batch if you're unsure :)

    I've already weighed everything out - was just a bit taken aback by how much of it there was when I poured 200g of it into a bowl! And so was just wondering if it was a typo :)

    Salt water....is that just a shake of salt dissolved in some warm water? :o

    ETA: I thought I'd start with the Savoury Scones, and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get the mixture to bind? The first mark on my measuring jug is 50ml, so I've had to visually guess 20ml vinegar and 30ml oil but it wasn't enough. I've added another tsp of vinegar and have upped the oil a tsp at a time, but having now added another 4tsp, I still don't have a mixture that will bind. nd given that a tsp is roughly 5ml, I should definitely have enough now. I think it may have to go out for the birds :(

    thanks Keggie:A:A:A:A, format is great :)

    recipes in order with temp next to them would be the easiest for me to apply.

    The website is really begining to take shape Weezl :T

    Just one small thing I have noticed....
    In the shopping list, you have costings...
    Would you not need to say, price correct at May 2010...
    Just in case there is a mad rush on a certain product, and the price increase dramatically :eek::D

    Thanks Potty, good point, I'll change that now. In fact it may already be different than when I last checked! :eek:

    Actually... there is another place where that would also be applicable ...
    On the meal plan page, it says spending less than £100 ect... which may not apply in June ;)

    Sorry to be picky Weezl....
    But on the page for Nutrition, there used to be a picture of a spoon of sugar, showing 16g of sugar...
    This has bee replaced by a bowl, with far more sugar in :eek:
