LEMONADE SCONES
I’m afraid the scone making gene skipped a generation with me. Mum and my daughter both make terrific scones, mine could be used as paving stones. This certainly seems an unusual recipe, substituting cream for the butter and lemonade for the milk which you would traditionally use. I’ve no idea if it works, but as it was published in the cooking section of The Sun I have to assume it does. Worth trying???
CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD SAUCE
I like the sound of this mustard sauce it would turn a bought barbecue chicken into a quick and interesting meal. Great to serve for an easy lunch or dinner for visitors.
DOUBLE-CHOC DESSERT
Pure indulgence – chocolate muffins, served with white chocolate sauce, strawberries & cream. I think I’d be tempted to make them bigger than just muffin size though!!!
LEMON AND BLUEBERRY TART
I haven’t made this Lemon and Blueberry Tart yet as I’ve only just found the recipe in Mum’s collection. It looks great though and pretty easy to make. Because it uses frozen blueberries you can make it all year round, so I think I’ll try it out for our next family get together.
MUSHROOM & BACON SOUP
For me one of the best things about winter is homemade soup. In the old days Mum’s soups started with ham, chicken, lamb or whatever bones she bought at the butcher’s that week. She’d add vegetables and then cover the lot with cold water, bring it to the boil and cook it for a few hours. The next step was to allow the soup to cool so that the fat from the bones could solidify and it was then carefully taken off. The resulting soup was worth all that effort, but modern recipes like this one make the job a whole lot easier.
CHICKEN AND HAM BAKE
I’ve already posted a few recipes that use chicken and ham, but they go together so well and the combination is so well liked by everyone I just can resist adding this one to the collection. I think using a bought cooked chook (such a great Aussie word for chicken) would add lots of flavour and make this bake really easy.
POWDER PUFFS
These were one of Mum’s treats that I can remember coming home to after school and finding leftover from an afternoon tea Mum had had for her friends. They were light and filled with fresh cream with a light dusting of icing sugar, my mouth waters just remembering them.
QUICHE LORRAINE
Mum used to make Egg and Bacon Pies all the time, but also made this Quiche Lorraine recipe when she wanted something a bit fancier. The difference between an egg & bacon pie and a quiche lorraine is that for a quiche the eggs are beaten together with cream and milk and poured into the base on top of the bacon. While for the more basic egg & bacon pie you just break the eggs top of the bacon. As a result a quiche has a much lighter filling than the more rustic egg & bacon pie. Whichever one you go for, they’re both really great.
QUICHE LORRAINE
- 15g butter
- 1 onion, sliced
- 100g bacon
- 20cm uncooked shortcrust pastry case
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Salt, pepper
- 150ml fresh cream
- 75ml milk
- 175g cheddar cheese, grated
Melt butter and fry bacon and onion until soft. Place in pastry case. Beat remaining ingredients together and pour over bacon and onion. Bake at 190c for 30-40 minutes. Serve hot or cold.
BANANA WHIP ICE CREAM
Some people might argue that this is a summer recipe, but others, like my father, would disagree. He enjoyed a bowl of ice cream every night – summer or winter.
