Biscuits, Cookies, Slices, Muffins and other treats

 
  • 1 cup peanut butter

This recipe is foolproof and tasty.

 
  • 3 large bananas
  • 1 cup chopped dates
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup cooking oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
 
  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in oats, dates, oil and vanilla. Mix well and let set for 15 minutes.
  3. Drop by teaspoonsful onto an ungreased cookie sheet/baking tray.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes or until brown.

I would soak the dates with about 1/4cup of boiling water before chopping so it is softer to chop, then put the chopped up dates back in the water and the water kinda disappears making it nice soft.

 
  • 240g/8 and a 1/2oz bran cereal sticks
  • 100g/3 and a 1/2oz butter, softened
  • 200g/7oz caster sugar
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled, mashed
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 lemon, juice only
  • 450ml/16fl oz milk
  • 300g/10 and a 1/2oz plain flour
  • 2 and a 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 220g/ 1/2 lb raisins or sultanas
 
  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
  2. Pour half of the bran sticks into a large mixing bowl. Pour over 200ml/7fl oz boiling water. Set aside until the bran sticks have softened and absorbed most of the water and the water has cooled.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add portions of the mashed banana and beaten egg a little at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Mix together the lemon juice and milk, then add the mixture to the muffin batter a little at a time, beating after each addition, until all of the liquid has been incorporated into the batter.
  5. Add the cooled, softened bran mixture to the batter and stir well to combine. (NB: At this point, the mixture will look as if it has curdled, but don't worry.)
  6. Sift the flour and baking powder into the batter mixture and stir until combined.
  7. Add the salt, then stir in the raisins or sultanas and the remaining bran sticks until well combined.
  8. Place one paper muffin case or one large square of greaseproof paper into each well of a 24-hole muffin tin. Divide the muffin batter equally among the muffin cases.
  9. Transfer the muffins to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until risen, golden-brown and cooked through. (NB: The muffins are cooked through when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.)

If you don't want to use all of the mixture, you can use only half of the mixture and store the other half in the fridge. This should keep for atleast a week.

A standard 250ml cup has been used in all recipes.

  • 125 gm. butter softened but not melted (1/4 packet)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (brown is good for many recipes - caramel flavour)
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 and 3/4 cups plain flour (or mix of white & wholemeal)
  • 1 tsp. baking powder

Beat butter and sugar together to get a lot of air in, then beat in egg. Mix in flour and baking powder without beating any more. Spoon on to greased oven tray in large-teaspoon amounts, flattening slightly with a wet fork. Makes about 35 biscuits. Bake about 12 minutes at 170 celsius.

The basic biscuit mixture can be varied by baking as individual biscuits, or as a slice which is cut up after baking. Biscuits are crisper than slices, and keep longer. Biscuits will be very crisp for 'dunking' if loosened from tray after baking, then put back in turned-off oven with door open for 1/2 hour. Icing can be spread on biscuits or slices, after baking, and while they are still slightly warm. Several Tbs. icing sugar are mixed with a few tsp. softened butter and boiling water to make the required amount of icing. This can be varied by adding a teaspoon of golden syrup, or a Tb. cocoa powder.

   

Add 1 tsp. almond essence, and 1/2 cup flaked almonds. Or leave out flaked almonds and top each biscuit before baking with half a blanched almond.

 

Add an extra egg, but omit butter. Add 1 tsp. vanilla & 1/2 cup cashew nuts OR 1 tsp. almond essence & 1/2 cup flaked almonds. Form mixture into a log and bake on greased tray about 30 mins. at 160 C. Cool and cut into 1 cm. slices. Place on greased tray and bake again for about 15 mins. at 160 celsius.

 

Replace 1 cup flour with 1 cup bran. Reduce 1/2 cup sugar to 1/4 cup.

 

Omit egg and sugar. Add 1 and 1/2 cups grated cheese & 2 Tbs. grated onion or 2 tsp. onion stock powder/soup mix.

 

Replace 3/4 cup flour with 1 cup cornflakes crushed. Add 1 tsp. almond essence. Top each biscuit with 1/2 glace cherry before baking.

 

Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips before flour. Add more if preferred.

 

Replace 1/2 cup flour with 2 Tb. cocoa and 1 cup cornflakes crushed. When baked top with chocolate icing.

 

Replace 3/4 cup flour with 3/4 cup desiccated coconut.

 

Omit sugar and egg. Reduce butter to 50g and put it in 1/2 cup lukewarm water with 1.Tbs. golden syrup. Roll out dough 1/2cm thick and cut in squares. Prick each square and sprinkle lightly with salt before baking.

 

Omit egg. Add 2 Tb. golden syrup & 4 tsp. ground ginger & 1 tsp. baking soda, as well as baking powder.

 

Add 2 Tb. golden syrup & 4 ts. gr. ginger & 1 ts. baking soda as well as baking powder. Add a little water to get dough to right consistency to roll out to 1/2cm thick and cut out gingerbread men shapes. Decorate with currants for face or ice after baking.

 

Replace egg with 1 Tb.warm milk and 1 tsp. bak. soda, also 1 Tb. warm golden syrup.

 

Change 1/2 cup sugar to 1/4 cup and add 4 Tb. honey, warmed. Omit egg.

 

Add 3 tsp. finely grated lemon zest. When baked and cooled, top with icing mixed with lemon juice instead of water.

 

Replace sugar with 1/2 cup icing sugar plus 1 heaped Tb. more of it. Replace 1 cup flour with 1 cup cornflour. When baked top with icing, or sandwich 2 together with jam or icing.

 

Replace egg with 2 Tb. golden syrup. Change 1/2 cup sugar to 1/4 sugar. Replace 1 cup flour with 1 cup rolled oats and 1/2 cup desiccated coconut.

 

Add 1/2 cup blanched peanuts, lightly roasted.

 

Add 1/2 cup chocolate-coated peanuts/raisins, or yoghurt-coated raisins.

 

Replace sugar with icing sugar. Replace 1 cup flour with 1/2 cup cornflour. Omit egg. Form dough into flat square, about 1/2 cm. thick and cut into fingers before placing on baking tray.

 

Prepare shortbread but cut dough into fancy shapes. Paint each unbaked biscuit with a small amount of egg white lightly beaten with a few drops of food colouring. 1 egg white can be divided among 3 different colours. Sprinkle biscuits with sugar before they dry, then bake them.

 

Prepare shortbread and cut into shapes with 2cm circle cut out of middle. Put shapes on to greased foil on baking tray. Place hardboiled lollies in centres and bake. When cool, peel off foil carefully.

 

Add 1 tsp. mixed spice & 1 tsp. cinnamon & 1 tsp. ground ginger.

Biscuits can be iced and decorated with licorice and lollies.

A standard 250ml cup has been used in all recipes.

  • 125 gm. butter softened but not melted (1/4 packet)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (brown is good for many recipes - caramel flavour)
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 and 3/4 cups plain flour (or mix of white & wholemeal)
  • 1 tsp. baking powder

Beat butter and sugar together to get a lot of air in, then beat in egg. Mix in flour and baking powder without beating any more.

Icing can be spread on slices, after baking, and while they are still slightly warm. Several Tbs. icing sugar are mixed with a few tsp. softened butter and boiling water to make the required amount of icing. This can be varied by adding a teaspoon of golden syrup, or a Tb. cocoa powder.

Use a well-greased baking tin or dish 20 cm. by 30 cm. A larger dish makes the mixture more thinly spread and more crisp. A smaller dish makes the mixture deeper and more like a cake, and needs to be checked if the centre is baked through. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 160 C.

   

Replace 3/4 cup flour with 3/4 cup desiccated coconut. Add 1 cup dried apricots, chopped and soaked 1 hour. 4 Tbs. chocolate bits are an optional extra.

 

Add 1/4 cup milk to mixture. Top unbaked mixture with peeled, sliced apple. Sprinkle over it 2 Tb. sugar mixed with 1 tsp. cinnamon.

 

Add 2 cups grated carrot & 1 tsp. mixed spice & 1 tsp. cinnamon plus an extra egg. When baked and cooled, top with 150g cream cheese mixed with 1 cup icing sugar.

 

Add an extra egg and 1/4 cup sugar. Replace 1/2 cup flour with 4 Tb. cocoa and add 1 tsp. baking powder extra. When baked top with chocolate icing.

 

Omit sugar and bake slice 10 minutes. Sprinkle over it 1 cup blanched, toasted, chopped peanuts, 1 cup desiccated coconut, 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Pour over 400g tin sweetened condensed milk and bake further 20 minutes.

 

Omit 3/4 cup flour. Add 3 Weetbix crushed & 1/2 cup dates, chopped. When baked and cooled top with icing.

 

Replace egg with 2 Tbs. golden syrup. Replace flour with 2 1/2 cups rolled oats.

 

Omit egg. Replace 1/4 cup sugar with 1/4 cup golden syrup. Boil butter, sugar and syrup together in saucepan or microwave until it forms a soft toffee ball when a few drops are dropped into a glass of water. Replace 1 cup flour with 2 cups rolled oats which have been lightly toasted. Mix dry ingredients into toffee and combine well. Spread 1/2 mixture in well-greased pan. Top with 2 cups soaked, chopped dried fruits, e.g. apricots, dates, prunes, sultanas, and spread remainder of oats on top. Press flat with damp hand. After baking cut in squares while still warm.

 

Add 3 Tb. peanut butter and 1 tsp. vanilla essence. Replace 1 cup flour with 1 cup rolled oats. When baked, top while warm with following icing. 10 Tb. icing sugar, 4 Tb. peanut butter, 2 Tb. boiling water, 2 Tb. cocoa.

 

Replace 3/4 cup flour with 3 Weetbix crumbled and 2 Tbs. desiccated coconut and 2 Tbs. cocoa. Top baked slice with chocolate icing while warm and cut into sqares.

  • 175g butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large table spoons peanut butter

Cream above ingredients.

Add 1 egg. Beat.

Sift 2 cups flour and 1/2 tsp baking soda. Stir into creamed mixture. Add 1 pkt choc chips.

Bake at 180 C until brown. Move them up to the top part of the oven for the second half so they don't burn on the bottom.

 
  • 2 Tbs golden syrup
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. vinegar

Put all ingredients in deep casserole dish. No lid needed. Cook on 100% for 4 minutes. Stir and cook a further 2 minutes. Handle dish with a thick cloth as it gets very hot because sugar holds the heat. Pour toffee over prepared popcorn and stir gently to mix in. Leave 5 minutes to cool before forming into balls. Wait till toffee is cold before eating, as it can burn your mouth.
