I have two questions if that is okay:-

1) Has anyone used the Tesco Value dried milk and/or skimmed UHT? I would be using them both for HM yoghurt and also the dried milk in the breadmaker too. I'm using the tesco standard versions at the moment and wondered if there was much difference using the value ones.

2) I bought the wrong yeast a couple of weeks ago - I got the one that is for hand baking rather than the bread maker. Is there any way I can use it in the bread maker? At the moment the only use I have for it is in HM ginger beer.

For your yeast - is it the Allinson's one in a tin? I bought that for ages as it used to be designated for BMs. They then changed the advice without warning me :rolleyes: and I continued for some time with no problems.

Dear All

Have been asked to make choc brownies with a rum twist - I have a yummy recipe minus the rum which calls for 6 tablespoons of water. Can I substitute all or part of the water with rum or would it be better to up the dry quantities a bit and then add a splash or two of rum?

thanks

I would just substitute a tablespoon or two of rum for the same of water. Simpler than trying to fiddle with the dry ingredients.;)

only one or two tablespoons?

Sounds good to me - I'm hopeless once I leave the recipe.

Thanks

Hi everyone

Fairly new to the forum (found it about six weeks ago) and its brill. I enjoy home cooking from scratch and I am loving collecting all the recipes etc. Could someone please pass on a recipe for crumble mix as I have rhubarb in the freezer I would like to use up.

I'm surprised that this hasn't been answered yet, so here's my crumble topping:
100g wholemeal flour
50g marg
25g brown sugar
50g rolled oats or coconut

Put flour, marg, brown sugar and either oats or coconut into a bowl.
Rub marg into this mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Pour over fruit filling and bake for 20-30mins at 200c or gas mark6.

I usually double the quantities, as this recipe came out of dd school home economics book.

I've had a butternut squash that i bought to make soup some few days ago. I know I could google for a recipe, but I had intended to search the recipe threads for a recommended one:rolleyes: Can anyone give me a link to their tried and tested recipe, as I've never made it before? Thanks in advance:D

I made mine up But you could follow Delia's recipe for pumpkin soup and just swap it for the squash.

Hellooo old style folks :wave:

I put my white shirt in the wash and it came out with a couple of dark stains on the collar .... I tried colour run remover but it didn't help, and some spray stain remover - no luck.

Does anyone know what could cause an in wash stain & how I can get rid of it? The shirt is cotton, only linen like cotton

The only other time I had stains like this was on my towels when using ecover

Thank You

Recipe help required!!

I have a **thing** for Chocolate lately and found this recipe:

Rosemary Chocolate Pots:
225g sugar, 500ml dry white wine, juice of 1 lemon, 1 litre double cream, 2 tsp dried rosemary, 300g dark extra bitter chocolate, grated

Basically - simmer then refrigerate (can provide full instructions if anyone wants!)

My question is, could I replace the wine with anything else? I don't drink it, and don't really want to buy a bottle just for this! All I could think of was milk, but I'm not sure if wine is a "vital ingrediant" for this?

Thanks!
