wow they are aren;t they minimooch.

well i'm either brave or totally insane. nd i think i know which one my hubby thinks i am he he.

ravylesley thanks for that. i'm def gonna try it. if they turn out well then will make some up for freezer.

i've got some of those silver foil trays andd lids i use in freezer. they would be fab to put the balls into for the freezer. then they could go straight from freezer to oven in same tray.

1/2 tsp yeast
300g strong white flour
1/2 tsp sugar

1 tbsp milk powder
1 tsp salt
210ml water

You can do coleslaw type stuff or it's good cooked with a cheese sauce

I'd say that would work fine, although mozerella would be lush as you would get the stringy thing going on

Dee I'd love to try making your beetroot brownies too, DS is very off veg at the mo so every little helps. Our organic veg box has twice had beetroot in it so any other ideas greatly appreciated.:D

I had a receipe for Beetroot chocolate cake that I found on here - could that be adapted to brownies perhaps...

Chocolate Beetroot Cake recipe As promised, here's the recipe for chocolate beetroot cake:

30g cocoa powder
115g plain flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
170g caster sugar
240ml corn oil
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 whole eggs, beaten
125g (half a pack) of vacuum packed beetroot, pureed
90g plain dark choc, chopped into small pieces

Sift cocoa, flour, baking powder & salt into a bowl and mix in the sugar.
All the oil, vanilla essence, eggs, beetroot and chocolate pieces and mix well.
Grease an 18cm cake tin with butter and pour in the mix.
Bake for 50mins at 375F/190C/Gas 5 until a skewer comes out clean.
