Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup Caster sugar
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 1 cup Dessicated coconut
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Plain flour
  • 80 grams Very soft almost melted margerine
  • Nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl whisk all ingredients together leaving the margarine until last, mix well.
  • Pour into a greased oven proof dish and sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • Bake in a preheated 170*C oven for approx 45 minutes or until set.
  • Serve with fruit, whipped cream or on it's own.

Notes

The bigger the dish the obviously thinner the pie. For a thinner pie you need less baking time than the above time stated, check at about 30 minutes.
Our preference is to go the deeper dish and have a more baked custard consistency.
So play with your pie dish sizes until you get the custard consistency  just the way you like it.
 

Donut cake

Yesterday using the Donut cupcakes recipe I popped the batter into a ring cake tin, baked for about 20-25 minutes, it came out more like a big cinnamon donut cake.  I guess if you wanted it more like a real donut you could drizzle icing across the top.  Tasted pretty good.

  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Bi carbonate soda
  • 1 tablespoon Boiling water
  • 1/2 cup Tahini

  • Add water to bi-carb, stirring until dissolved and add to honey pot.
  • Combine the honey mix to the flour and sugars bowl and stir. Add in tahini and mix well.
  • Pre heat oven to 160 *C. Roll into balls and place onto a lined baking tray. Flatten. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Be careful they don't burn. Cool and store.

Notes

Add seeds or nuts (sunflower, flax, sesame or chopped nuts, I like almonds or sultanas/raisins or currants.  Don't  over do it.)
This was a slice recipe but I decided to roll into balls to bake as biscuits.  You can bake in a slice tray if you wish, baking for about 20-25 minutes.
Yes this will freeze.

Back to freezing food …

I was out at the grocery store doing my weekly shop this morning.  I was standing in the bakery section sorting through the pocket/pita bread packets to find the one I wanted. (yes I do freeze pocket/pita breads.)

An older lady beside me said to no one in particular, I wish these had more days on the date tag, there are only 3 days and I won’t be able to eat 6 of these muffins in 3 days.  I leaned over and said freeze them, there’s not much you can’t freeze.

The look on her face was priceless, she said you know that would never have occurred to me!

I have bought many breads and meats close to the use by date and no bad things have happened.  BUT it only comes out of the freezer good if you put it in good.  Don’t freeze foods that don’t look or smell good and don’t leave in the freezer for any length of time (eg, months).

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Self raising flour
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 teaspoon White vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Whisk all ingredients together and set aside for 5 minutes
  • Pour batter into a heated and greased frying pan. When the batter starts to bubble turn over, leave for a minute until browned and risen take out and set aside. Press in the centre gently if you're not sure it's cooked. Eat straight away or cool.

Notes

I use this recipe for pikelets, top with jam and cream.   Pancakes, top with ice cream and syrup.
This batter also makes fritters (savoury fritters leave out the sugar, add salt and pepper and cooked meat and or vegetables)
I freeze cooked pancakes or fritters.  You may need plastic between the pancakes so that you can remove one at a time.
