OMG fried jam sandwiches we used to have these all the time when we were kids, they are so gorgeous :drool::drool::drool: Oh I really want one now Might have to make them for the kids tomorrow, can't believe that I haven't done them for them actually. If you like jam, you will love these!

Me too! But we called them Jam Donuts!
My place after school was the Bees Knees as my mum always used to whip these up in about 10 mins for all my mates!
Back in the day im not sure you could buy 'ready made batter' so she made her own, and i still have the recipe at home (ive moved out of home since but i still took the recipe! )!

You get the Ideal Milk (evaporated milk) near the tinned fruit in my Tesco. It's a bit like condensed milk but not so sweet or thick. Handy to keep in the fridge or cupboard and if you get bananas that need eating up it's quick and easy.

i do microwaveable upside down pineapple cake - coat bowl in golden syrup, decorate with pineapple rings, if i have glace cherries in the house, i pop one in the centre of each ring. juice from the pineapple goes into the sponge mix.

whenever MIL comes round for tea she insists on this for desert!

and the best bit is, it can go from cupboard ingredients to plate in 20mins!

i am going to try this, how long do you have to cook in the microwave for please?:D

'idiots' guide to microwaveable upside down cake

serves 4 very greedy people, or 6 if you are stricter with portion sizes and don't let your OH back for seconds and thirds :rotfl:

take a large microwave-safe bowl (i use a plastic mixing bowl as it's big so the cake has plenty of room to rise). grease the inside of the bowl lightly with butter or spread. line the sides and bottom of the bowl with golden syrup (i tend to dribble it down the sides - some sticks, most of it ends up pooled in the bottom of the bowl). I stopped using spoonfuls as i found it wasn't syupy enough for our tastes, so i do it by eye, aiming for about 1cm deep puddle at the bottom). decorate the bowl with pineapple rings. I start in the centre and work my way up the sides uptil i run out of rings. If it's a big tin, i'll chop any spare rings and add it to the cake batter, along with the pineapple juice from the tin.

the batter then is just a standard sponge cake batter.
100g butter,
100g sugar (muscavado works best but i've used whatever i've had in with no ill effect. Muscavado just helps improve the colour of the sponge)
100g self raising flour
2 eggs
3 tbsp milk

blend the batter ingredients together, add it to the microwavable bowl. pop in the microwave and cook on high for approx 10-12 minutes. Cooking time will vary from microwave to microwave, but as with any sponge, you can tell it's done when the cake starts to come away from the side of the bowl and a knife inserted into the sponge comes out clean. you can, if you're feeling posh, put a plate over the bowl and turn the whole lot upside down, but i just dish it up from the microwaveable bowl.

serve with custard or icecream. if by some strange miracle you have some left, it tastes even better cold the next day - sticky, gooey and sweet

It does sound nice doesn't it!

:hello:

Ok, so here I am. I've eaten my dinner, and now I have a hankering for something sweet. It's getting a bit late, and I can't be bothered to do too much, as I've already made dinner.

So, what can I make that will keep my sweet tooth happy, and take as little time and effort as possible? I've got most things in. I fancy something chocolatey, but I've got loads of apples to use up.

On your marks...
Set...

Cheers,
MBE

Go!

Eating an apple as is would be the fastest and healthiest solution. An apple crumble for one might take 5 mins to prepare and 10 in the oven. Or you could drive to your nearest supermarket for something quick and indulgent.

Personally? I would treat myself to apple fritters in caramel sauce, just like my favourite Chinese restaurant. The down side would be the washing up.
