Hiya Mrs Macawber,
they look lovely, and I just did the costings for plain ones (couldn't find prices online for the oniony bits), and they work out at a stunning 3.5p per bagel.:money:

Billy bargain or what! Thanks for sharing the recipe :T

Hi pablosmummy, glad the recipes have been going down well. The cinnamon toasts are amazing aren't they? And only a penny a slice, so it's ok if BF eats half a loaf :rotfl:

Shaz I really like the liver recipe:D. Alas tarragon is a herb I haven't grown yet. D'you think thyme, sage or rosemary, or flat leaf parsley might go well instead?

you could use dried Mr t sells it if not i think thyme would be next best thing

I have to say, I have made MrsMc bagels a number of times...they are lovely. I used just normal dried onions, and not the salad ones... as that is what I had in. The dried ones are cheaper than the salad ones though...
I think I paid about 50p/75p for a bag of dried onions... 250g... and I use about 2 tablespoons per recipe.

Could someone direct me to the cinnamon toast recipe please... I cant find it
Thanks

Hiya nopot2pin,

post number 212 explains how I made the cinnamon bread, which when toasted and buttered is nomnomnom!;)

thanks for the tip on the dried onions, that works out very reasonable then, in asda whitworths dried onions are 14p a box at the mo!

Those boxed onions from Whitworths are fabulous in bread recipes, use them myself, but I'm gutted that I was swindled out of 1p... I paid 15p a box in Tescos.

As its raining and mum's coming for the day I think I'll make some of that cinnamon bread and some bagels.

Keep all the recipes and links going.. they are wonderful. Thank you everyone.

hi there In search of me

That is the first bagel recip i tried and i stuck with it... i think they are gorgeous.. I only use the onion crispies as I had them for an onion bread recipe and they have a stronger flavour -they are usually near the salad dressings if anyone wants any...

I found them to be just like "proper" bagels... with the bonus of them being nice even if you don't toast them -unlike the shop ones
I think i may have to make some cinnamon and sultana ones....that i keep threatening to do:p

Right todays mission is to make some spinach and bacon bread (using the spinach that is trying to bolt -even though it isn't that warm:rolleyes: )..so i have set more -but don't want the other to go to waste:D
depending how it comes out i will post the recipe...
have a great day everyone

I totally agree with you on this one. I have 5 kids and, since my husband left, now have to rely on benefits.
My budget is tight, but I do recieve what used to be called milk tokens, they can also be used for fruit and veg.
I can only get them for my 2 youngest children, so only get 2 amounting to £6 a week!!
What about the rest of us? Surely it is in the governments best interest to keep us all healthy and save bomb through the NHS.
As it often seems to be what happens in the USA finds it's way here, lets keep our fingers crossed.
