RUM AND RAISIN ICE CREAM

Posted on November 17, 2016 by bebsrecipes

This recipe comes from a 1990s, Australian Women’s Weekly supplement entitled Old Fashioned Family Favourites. For me, the ‘old fashioned’ ice cream that Mum used to make was one that used an evaporated milk and sugar mixture that was whipped, semi frozen and then rewhipped. To me it always seemed to be very icy, nothing like today’s smooth and creamy version. I’m inclined to think that this recipe has been ‘modernized’ to use thickened cream so I’m sure it would taste a lot better than the old fashioned version I remember.

PANCAKE SYRUP TOPPING

Posted on October 28, 2016 by bebsrecipes

Although this is one of Mum’s handwritten recipes quite honestly I can’t say I ever remember her using it. Our whole family remembers Mum’s pancakes, how she made them individually and how you had to wait your turn for your next one – they were scrumptious. But no treacle syrup, they were always served with butter and sugar and for the more adventurous lemon squeezed on the top. Still, this does sound good, just not how Mum served them.

DATE PILLOWS

These are probably my husband’s favourite type of bought biscuit. I must admit I’ve never considered making them for him as I always though they were too difficult. This recipe doesn’t look that hard though so I guess I’ll now have to give them a go.

BANANA BREAD CUSTARD PUDDING

Posted on October 7, 2016 by bebsrecipes

This recipe was in a liftout booklet from the Women’s Weekly back in October 1991. It’s another take on the old bread and butter pudding with the twist being fruit loaf and banana instead of plain old white bread and butter.

CARAMELISED FISH

Looking for a different way to cook a piece of fish? Then I think this recipe is one for you. I’m not too sure about sugar with the fish, but as it was printed on the Herald Sun recipe page someone obviously liked it!!

BEV’S FAMOUS PLUM CAKE

I’ve no idea who Bev is or what makes this plum cake famous, but as it says it looks simple and delicious and you can’t ask for more than that.

APRICOT SPONGE PUDDING

Posted on July 6, 2016 by bebsrecipes

Most of the sponge pudding recipes I’ve seen have apples or a jam base. This one’s a bit different as it has dried apricots. You could use stewed fresh apricots in season if you wanted to.

CHOCOLATE SELF-SAUCING PUDDING

Posted on June 16, 2016 by bebsrecipes

Feel like a good old fashioned hot chocolate pudding that’s easy to make? Mum loved chocolate so this one was of her favorites and with a dollop of fresh cream on the top it’s hard to beat.

CUSTARD TART

My father’s all time favourite. When I found this recipe in Mum’s collection I was instantly reminded of him. Sadly, they seem to have gone out of fashion and you don’t see them very often in cake shops or in cafes, maybe they’ll make a comeback one day. Dad really loved them.

SPOTTED DICK PUDDING

Posted on May 5, 2016 by bebsrecipes

Who knows how this pudding got it’s name, but it’s been the butt of jokes for years and years. Despite the name it’s really just a fairly simple steamed pudding, which tastes good, especially served with custard. This traditional recipe uses a pudding cloth for the cooking, but it can also be made in a pudding basin.
