Here;s one and its a chuck it all in one.

8 oz flour
4 oz sugar
small spoon of bicarb
2 eggs
2 large spoons of black treacle
As much dried fruit as you want, ie 4 handfuls or more.

Chuck it all in together, add some milk. It needs to be a little runny.

Put into 2 loaf tins, bake about 45 mins at £160

Let it cool, slice and butter. it is just so easy.

Ive recently tried the Twinks hobnob recipe, found on MSE grocery challenge (as mentioned by Craigyvw).
A great biscuit, quick, easy and cheap to make and everyone loves them.

Our favourites cake is lemon drizzle. I usually make these as fairy cakes so they are easy for lunch boxes / portion control. Just buy 1 lemon, add half the juice to the cake mix and save the other half for disolving in sugar for the top.

Look forward to seeing all the other recipe ideas, happy baking. ;-)

another idea is the tesco value sponge cake mix, this is about 25p i think and just needs and egg if i remember rightly (handy for if you'r short on one of the usual ingrediants)
