Gram's Christmas Plum Pudding

2023-12-24T00:34:14Z

Nici: /* Method */ note about room for rising

== Ingredients ==
* Brandy for soaking
* 4 cups dried fruit (e.g., sultanas, raisins, currants, cherries, figs)
* 3 cups plain flour (good with 50/50 mix of wholemeal and white)
* ½ cup sugar
* 2 cups bread crumbs
* 1 cup vegetable shortening
* 4 teaspoons mixed spices
* 4 teaspoons cinnamon
* ½ teaspoon nutmeg
* 2 teaspoons bi carb soda
* 1 cup cold black tea (to give stiff firm mixture)

== Method ==
This pudding is cooked in a pudding steamer. If you don't have a pudding steamer you can use a different bowl with foil or grease-proof paper for a lid, tying the lid on with string. The steamer is then placed in boiling water. The water should come high up the steamer but not such that leaks into the steamer. If required, place a racking (or something else - be creative!) in the bottom of the pan so the bottom doesn't touch and burn.

* Soak fruit for a few days in brandy.
* Make the tea and let it cool and bring the pan of water to the boil.
* Mix all ingredients except the tea in a bowl.
* Add tea to make a moist but firm consistency.
* Put into foil-lined and greased pudding steamer (leave room at the top for it to rise) and cook for about 4 hours, adding water to the pan if necessary.

David Pocock Chocolate Balls

2022-02-27T18:42:46Z

Nici: /* Ingredients */

== Ingredients ==
* 60g protein powder or almond flour
* 2 heaped tablespoons cocoa powder (about 20g)
* 3 tablespoons dessicated coconut (about 15g)
* A pinch of sea salt
* half a mini can of coconut cream (about 80ml)
* 1/2-1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
* 2 tbsp almond butter (or peanut butter)
* ~25ml Water (enough to make it nice and sticky without being wet). Add slowly so you don't overdo it.
* coconut for rolling the balls in

NB: We usually do a double mix

== Method ==
* Combine all of the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix together

* Add in the nut butter, vanilla, and coconut cream and combine

* Add in the water or espresso in small amounts. The consistency should be so that it can easily be rolled into balls, but not so wet that the mixture sticks to your hand when trying to roll. If you accidentally add too much liquid, add in a small amount of protein powder and combine again.

* Roll into balls of about 1 tbsp, and roll in coconut. Refrigerate.

Nici: /* Method */

== Ingredients ==
* 3 tbsp marg/butter
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 1 1/2 cups SR flour
* 1 large egg
* 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
* milk (about 2/3 cup)

== Method ==

Milk: Enough milk to mix to a nice consistency, not so runny that it pours into the patty pans, but just plops. I estimate about 2/3 cup, but Gram never game me an amount.

* preheat oven to 180C (I estimated this, as Gram never told me).
* Cream butter and sugar until sugar looks dissolved, add egg and beat well.
* Stir in sifted flour alternatively with the milk, just a little at a time, and vanilla essence. Even if you use a mixer for the butter and sugar it is best to put the flour and milk and vanilla in and beat them with a wooden spoon. That's the best way to know when enough milk is in.
* Gram said they are supposed to make approx 2 doz. cakes. I usually make 12.
* I cook for about 25mins, until a skewer comes out clean. Gram never said how long to cook them.
* You may then scrape the bowl if you wish (according to Gram).
They are best on the day they are made.

Chocolate Buns

2020-05-06T16:19:10Z

Nici: /* Method */ kneading options

== Ingredients ==
* 2 tsp active dry yeast
* 5 tbsp sugar
* 180ml lukewarm milk (200g almond milk)
* 340g plain flour
* 40g melted butter
* 80g dark chocolate

== Method ==
* Place the yeast, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and milk in a mixing bowl. Mix and set aside for 5 minutes until the yeast is bubbling. (The sugar at this stage is just to feed the yeast.)
* Add the flour, remaining sugar, and butter. Mix to the bowl until kneadable.
* Knead a clean surface for 5 minutes. The dough should become smooth and elastic. (Frank doesn't flour the kneading surface, as he doesn't want to change the proportion of milk and flour. Nicole does flour it, or she finds it sticks to everything).
* Divide dough into 6 pieces. Roll into balls, then squash into oval shapes. Place some chocolate in the middle and then fold closed. Place on glad-bake, cover (e.g, with an overturned mixing bowl), and leave to rise for an hour. The dough should double.
* Bake at 160C for 20 minutes.

''Best served warm. They can be heated for 20 seconds in the microwave the next day.''

Hot Cross Buns

2020-04-11T15:44:23Z

Nici: /* Ingredients */

== Ingredients ==

* 1 tbsp yeast
* 1/2 cup caster sugar
* 1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk (400g)
* 4 1/4 cups plain flour (600g)
* 2 tsp mixed spice
* 2 tsp ground cinnamon
* 50g butter, melted
* 1 egg
* 1 1/2 cups sultanas (NB: If doing a mix with 1/4 of them being fruit-free for N, use 160g of sultanas)
* 1/3 cup candied mixed peel (optional)
* 1/2 cup plain flour, extra ''do not use bread flour''
* 1/3 cup water

== Method ==

* Place the yeast, milk, and 2 tsp of the sugar in a mixing bowl and set aside for about 5 minutes, until the mixture starts to froth a little.
* Add the flour, mixed spice, cinnamon, butter, egg, sultanas, mixed peel, and remaining sugar. (Note, if you're making some fruit-free, don't add sultanas yet)
* Mix to form a sticky dough.
* Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8 minutes. I'm not usually an advocate of a floured surface for kneading but in this case you will need it!
* If you are making a mix with 1/4 of them fruit-free (eg for N), put aside 340g of dough before adding the 160g of sultanas.
* Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel, and leave for 1 hour or until doubled.
* Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll into balls.
* Grease a 23cm square cake tin (or use glad-bake!). If you haven't got a cake tin, just use a baking tray instead.
* Place the balls closely together in the tin.
* Heat oven to 200°C.
* Cover with a tea towel and leave for a further 30 minutes.
* Combine the extra flour and water and place in a piping bag. Pipe across the buns to form crosses. Note that if you are doing a double mixture, one quantity of the piping mixture should be enough.
* Bake for 25-30 minutes or until well browned and springy to touch.
* You are meant to brush the hot buns with a glaze, but I usually don't bother.

== Ingredients ==

* 1 tbsp yeast
* 1/2 cup caster sugar
* 1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk

* 1 1/2 cups sultanas
* 1/3 cup candied mixed peel (optional)
* 1/2 cup plain flour, extra ''do not use bread flour''
* 1/3 cup water

== Method ==

* Place the yeast, milk, and 2 tsp of the sugar in a mixing bowl and set aside for about 5 minutes, until the mixture starts to froth a little.
* Add the flour, mixed spice, cinnamon, butter, egg, sultanas, mixed peel, and remaining sugar.
* Mix to form a sticky dough.
* Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8 minutes. I'm not usually an advocate of a floured surface for kneading but in this case you will need it!
* Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel, and leave for 1 hour or until doubled.

* Place the balls closely together in the tin.
* Heat oven to 200°C.
* Cover with a tea towel and leave for a further 30 minutes.
* Combine the extra flour and water and place in a piping bag. Pipe across the buns to form crosses. Note that if you are doing a double mixture, one quantity of the piping mixture should be enough.
* Bake for 25-30 minutes or until well browned and springy to touch.
* You are meant to brush the hot buns with a glaze, but I usually don't bother.

* 200g boneless white fish fillets

* 2 tablespoons (40g) flour
* 150g frozen peas
* 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
* 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
* Juice of 1/2 lemon
* 50g grated cheddar cheese

== Method ==
* Preheat the oven to 170°C.

* Place fish in a baking dish, season with salt and pepper and pour over 400ml milk. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes until fish flakes away slightly when pressed with a fork. Remove fish, reserving milk. When cool enough to handle, flake fish into bite-sized pieces.
* Cook potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Drain and keep warm. Melt half the butter in a saucepan, stir in flour and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
* Slowly add reserved milk and continue to cook until thickened. Add fish, peas, parsley, egg, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
* Mash the potato with the remaining 50ml milk and the remaining butter until smooth, then season. Pile the fish mixture into a 1 litre-capacity baking dish, spoon the mash on top and smooth with a spatula. Trace a pattern into the mash with the tines of a fork and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
