Anzac Slice

I just had to share this great recipe that my Mum gave me which in turn came from a Cheapskates Club Tip email

Delicious!

It is for an ANZAC slice and from all accounts is yummy. This can be verified by the fact that everyone came back and asked for another piece! As I am recovering from an op at the moment this sort of thing is off limits to me but it didn't stop Amelia and I cooking it today - it smells divine. It is a nice soft slice which was a winner with Dave as he doesn't like the traditional harder biscuits.

These ingrediants all go in the one bowl, so start with the butter and melt it in your bowl first.

1 Cup SR Flour
1 Cup brown sugar
1 cup coconut
1 cup rolled oats
125 g melted butter
1 egg
2 tbsp golden syrup

Combine and press into lined pan. 180 c for 20-25 mins til golden brown. Let cool before cutting. Easy.

Four Week Challenge Update

Well I am just over the two week mark in the challenge not to buy any cakes, biscuits or bread and I havent bought any! I have baked bread every day (even twice on Sunday!) and have even tried a homemade version of a SAO. I got an excellent recipe of a forum for muesli bars and they have gone down a treat with Dave asking could I make another batch when these run out.

The recipe is this:

2 cups of rolled oats

1 cup plain flour

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup choc chip

1/2 cup honey

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/4 cup peanut butter

Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, salt & Choc chips. Stir together. Combine egg, honey, vanilla & mix together. Then mix wet & dry ingrediants together and then add peanut butter. Place in a greased 9x13 inch dish. Spread with a greased spatula. Bake for 15-18 mins or until edges turn brown. Let cool for 10 mins and then cut.

Cooking!

I made a cookie dough that I got from the Down to Earth blog. I added some macadamia nuts and some 85% cocoa Lindt chocolate. They smell delicious.

In the Kitchen

Vacola bottles waiting for a wash. I have cleared out the laundry cupboard for them.

Coconut Biscuits

This is the easiest biscuit recipe ever! I got it off the internet somewhere and they are really yummy.

1 cup self raising flur

1 cup sugar

1 cup of coconut

1 egg

1/2 cup melted butter

Mix it all together for a few minutes and then place teaspoons full on a baking sheet. Cook in a moderate oven for about 10 - 15 minutes.

Everything you need to make washing powder.

The recipe I use is;

2 bars of pure soap - grated

1 cup of washing soda

1 cup of borax

Just mix altogether and use a concentrate scoop to measure.
