Thanks for that. Thought you had to completely cover with liquid! Will the meat not get too dry though? What is the saucer for?!0

No it won't get too dry.
The saucer is to lift the meat out of the liquid a little so that you don't get quite such a "boiled beef" effect. The juices that you finish up with are ideal for making either gravy or stock.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.

My other test for mincemeat would be whether it seems to have fermented or not - does it taste 'fizzy'?Skint_Catt wrote: »Mines been in the fridge and I wouldn't hesitate to use it, but depends how warm your kitchen is.

I've eventually got the hang of soft rolls, now the next problem, they always end up 'flat' . I roll them into balls, place them on the tray then they spread themselves out getting all comfy and flat! It's only a pain because when I slice them they become even thinner and tend to split. Any ideas on how to keep them from going flat?One day I might be more organised...........

Erm... hang on... that's likely to be the same as a "sinking bread" problem, so gizza minnit while I nip downstairs and grab my handy "Hovis bread" booklet thingy...

Here we go...
Bread has collapsed:
- too much liquid; reduce the amount of water by 1 tbsp, check the dough during kneading
- you forgot the salt
- too much sugar
