Family of 5 'shop from home'food storage challenge...

D&DD

This is my mums recipe copied out from the original recipe she used when she was a dinnerlady at my school

Pastry
12 oz plain flour
2 oz icing sugar
1 tsp salt
3 oz lard
3 oz butter
6 tablespoons of really cold water
*NB don't forget theres a GF version here somewhere..*;) Will add a link in a mo..http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=6877222&postcount=420

Filling
4 oz marg (pure marg for GF/CF)
4 oz c sugar
1 egg
4 oz plain flour (doves farm flour)
2 tsp baking powder (gf baking powder)
2 oz ground rice
3 fl oz cold milk (soya milk)

Jam to spread on base..

Make pastry.Roll out and line a large flan tin (mine is about 9 inches)..Chill for 30 mins.Spread jam thickly over pastry base.(I used HM strawberry last time and it was goorgeous!)
Sponge mix..Cream marg,sugar together add egg.Add flour,b.powder and ground rice to the mix.Slowly stir in the milk.*should feel like a slightly softer than usual cake mix*
Spread filling on top of the jam and pastry.
Bake for 30 mins approx *watch the top you may have to pop a bit of foil on* 190c,gm5,375f.
Sponge usually starts to 'crack' slightly when cooked

When cool make up a thick icing and drizzle over,leave to set.

how did u make home made chocolate spread please. that sounds delish in the bun's.

haven't checked to see if anyone has already posted this so if you have... apologies!!

JCR16 - I used thriftlady's recipe which was published by D&DD on this thread:

Thriftladys choccie spread recipe
1 oz cocoa
1 1/2 tbspns sugar(she said she used granulated)
1 des spoon flour
4 fl oz milk

Bring to boil slowly,stirring and cook til thickened.

GF/CF version

1 oz df cocoa powder or carob powder
1 1/2 tblspns caster sugar
1 tbspn gf flour
4 fl oz soy milk

method as above..

the only downside was ds1 found it slightly bitter but ds2 loved it! I am going to try drinking chocolate instead of cocoa powder next time

:rolleyes: Just got warm and snuggly and it got swiped again..
Jamie those doughnuts are making me dribble :rotfl: Better hide the pics from DS3 I was supposed to make some today and never had time! I'm soo in the doghouse

Penny pincher theres loads of traybakes on here http://www.yobasti.com/inxsrs.html
they call them squares for some reason

Cheerful thats a great idea adding sultanas in I have about 9 bags still :rotfl: Which reminds me is it stir up sunday tomorrow?? I have to get cracking on the xmas puds and xmas cakes!!

Bella hello I must admit you're right none of the doughnuts have made it into the freezer yet,I do plan to double up the recipe when I do the next batch just so I can try it out..I've had no problems with batters or cakes freezing before and this is like a cross between the two so it should work..*she says trying to sound confident*:cool:

12oz marg

8oz icing sugar

lil_me

Someone has more sultanas than me :rotfl: I think I only have 3 bags left now after the baking mission.

Yes it's stir up Sunday tomorrow, was a thing about it in one of the papers trying to get people to make them.

Admittedly I have never made Xmas pud or a traybake, DP is out all day tomorrow so might try. Ah problem, we have no alcohol and I think I need to add it when making Xmas pud, I think I have Kethry's recipe for Xmas pud still, will have a look in a mo. Oh might be short of eggs too, darn it. Means I'll have to get off my bum and go hunting. Might try the recipe that Jamie posted for tray bake, I could just add sultanas to that couldn't I?

jcr16

JD ur phot's look amazing. the lasagne wow looks scrummy. hubby saw the donuts and i think he now might be getting me the maker for xmas.

Thanks Dee, perhaps you'll let us know if your donut freezing experiment is successful, if it is, perhaps I'll invest in a donut maker. They look fun.
