Fruit Cobbler Recipe

In an oven proof dish add in 1 mug of self raising flour, 1 mug of granulated sugar and 1 mug of milk. Mix it all up so it's thoroughly mixed together and then add 1 tin of value tinned fruit of your choice on top. Bake in the oven on gas mark 4 until golden. The flour mix will rise up above the fruit.

Thanks - I will try that

possession - please forgive my stupidity, have taken pain meds and have had little sleep - I assume you drain the tin of fruit before you add it to the mix?

Possession

It probably depends on the fruit, but yes I drain most of it otherwise it gets too oozy sticky.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is still surviving: it sounds like people have had it really grim. It comes to something when Edinburgh has almost the calmest weather in the country!

And now a big thanks to Mrs CD, Silvasava, Fuddle and KatieOwl because........ I have made non-crumbly pastry! Using a combination of everyone's suggestions I used half marg and half lard and added a bit more water. So now there is a quiche, some gentlemen's relish pastry straws (don't ask: I ran out of marmite) and some fairy cakes cooling outside. OH won't know what's hit him when he gets home.

Take care in the horrible weather everyone.

Byatt:- You must be mithered about this! Your DD is vulnerable to other peoples influence and yes, I would be looking at this woman's intentions as well. I think you need to get to know this woman. Have a meal with her and your DD and watch their relationship. People relax while they are eating and talk more freely. You may learn more by taking things slowly.
Your DD is not daft, and will know if you go to her support people. Because of your reactions to her past relationships she will be feeling wary and defensive around you. You have to change her perception about you. Not easy I know
Having you and her friend in the same space may make her 'see' things in a different light.
You have all my sympathy, it's a hard situation for you.

Hope everyone is safe and well and the water does not get too high.

Thank goodness for being OS

Came home after a late teaching session. OH had sorted his and kids tea (well I scrubbed spuds and put in oven and DS was phoned when it was time to put oven on - cooking by remote!) I was starving and hadn't done anything for me as didn't know when I'd be finished.

I grabbed left over HM fish pie from freezer (which has veg in it - pie not freezer. WEll and freezer actually ...) whilst it was defrosting and then cooking in microwave I put a loaf in to make in breadmaker. So tea done and bread made in much less time than it would have taken me to call into supermarket - and I'd have got soaked. Result :T

Sorry, very tired and rambling.....

Well done VJsmum

I had got fish out of freezer yesterday and made fish pie - had forgotten how many pans it uses though, its the reason I dont make it that often I think

It's that old thing about letting them make their own choices and mistakes while they know you're there for them when things go wrong... but in the real world it doesn't happen like that. I just know I'm going to try to protect my two when they're adults. I don't know what is worse though, a parent that doesn't care or a parent that cares too much?

edit, well done 7ww. Perseverance and practise always pays off
