heart Moist Treacle Gingerloaf heart

So easy to make!! Yummy to eat fresh, or warm with cream or even a few days later cold with butter. Easily transportable to juggle jams, festivals, parks and other places people get hungry.... I always make at least two at once cos it's so easy and they get eaten so fast...

3/4 cup plain flour (use spelt if you don't like wheat flour)
1/4 cup self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon ground ginger (however much you like really... I like it spicy)
wink and a fair scrape of freshly grated nutmeg if you have it..)
1/2 cup castor sugar (or really fine brown sugar.. use less)
1 egg
1/2 cup milk (or soy)
60g butter
1/2 cup treacle

Mix sifted flours, sugar, spices and soda. Stir in combined egg and milk. Melt butter in a small saucepan and add treacle. Heat them together but don't boil. Stir into flour mixture.
(it will look really runny....)
Pour into a loaf pan. To prepare the pan: grease it, line with baking paper and also grease the paper. Do this even if it's a non-stick pan. It sounds fiddly but the extra minute's work is worth it so it cooks properly and comes out of the pan really easily.

Cook for 50 minutes at about 180*C. Leave to stand for 5 minutes then turn it onto a wire rack to cool.

Enjoy! You can eat it warm if you don't want to wait!

This is a FANTASTIC thread, I thought of starting one of these a few weeks ago (honest!) but then I forgot about it.

Here's one I made last night...

WHITE CHOCOLATE SQUARES

4 1/2 oz white chocolate, chopped.
6 oz butter
4 eggs
4 oz caster sugar
7 oz plain flour, sifted
1tsp baking powder
1tsp salt
4 oz dried fruit or nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 175 degrees, grease and line a 9" baking tin.

Melt the chocolate and butter together in a large bowl over a pan of water, stirring until smooth and velvety. Leave to cool slightly.

Mix in the eggs, then sugar, flour and the rest. Mix well. Pour into baking tin, bake for 25 - 30 mins. Cake will not be completely firm when done, it sets as it cools.

It's yummy, I make one every week! Just a nice, rich, moist sponge that goes well with just about any fruit or nut. Enjoy! wave

Time to bump the thread with something a lot of people pestered me about over the weekend at Falmouth. The recipe for Binga Geer (strong, alchoholic ginger beer) is as follows:

For anyone interested in the recipe I use to make ginger beer :

Ingredients :
20 litres of Water
6 Lemons
4-6 Bits of root ginger (depends a lot on the size of the bits you use of course, but basically, enough bits to cover and area ~20cm square).
3kg of sugar
2 Level Teaspoon of Cream Of Tartar
2 Level Table Spoon Dried Yeast

Instructions :
Start by sterilising the bucket - if you don't do this, it'll most probably all go wrong as you'll get nasty stuff growing in there - yuck! :x
Scrape the zest of the lemons into your bucket
Squeeze the juice out (and add to the bucket)
Add the ginger
Boil half the water (10 litres) and pour into the bucket
Leave the ginger and lemon to soak for ~30mins
Add the sugar
Top up (with cold water) to 20 galons
Add the cream of tartar and the yeast
Now leave it in a warm place for about a couple of weeks

To check it's done you really need a hydrometer (~£10 from a brewing shop). Basically, you dunk it in the bucket and watch where it floats - on the side is a scale which indicates the amount of sugar in the water. Marked near the top should be a line labelled "Bottle Now". When it's brewed enough, the hydrometer will sink to this level which indicates that there's no-longer any sugar in the water (i.e. it's ready!). If you bottle it too early, you're likely to have exploding bottles. It's exciting, but messy and time-consuming to clear up! If you wait too long, it'll taste minging like some of my early batches frown

Hope that's useful to someone - let me know if you've got any questions.

1: take saltpetre, sulphur, and charcoal.

2: mix them in these quantities 75:15:10

3: grind together until all uniform size (carefully!!, add smll amount of water to make less hazardous) this makes serpentine

4: force slurry through gauze screen to make small pellets.

5: Hey presto, Gunpowder!!

Mars Bar Vodka:

Take one bottle of vodka. Drink some of it so there's some room in the bottle. Chop up 4 or 5 mars bars and put them in. Shake bottle every day until mostly dissolved. Strain out the bits that don't dissolve. (you can also eat the bits that didn't dissolve) Drink with mixers as desired. (mmm with kahlua and milk)

I have also tried it with jelly babies, and minties, the mintie one is particularly good just with soda.

Also good fun: soak lolly snakes in vodka overnight. Eat. Good with ice cream.

Only three things are certain: Death, Taxes, and that England will not win back the Ashes in this lifetime.

Technically, it's more like 20 litres, but you can't really use the last two litres because it's full of sediment. If you thought the stuff I brought to Falmouth was cloudy, just imagine how bad the dregs of the barrel are! You should get about 18 litres though without issue smile

so do you have to filter it?...just thinking...if you are leaving it for two weeks are you alowed to put cling film over the top to stop the bugs or would it just pop the cling film cause of added pressure?

Lol, thought you were talking about the toast for a moment there wink

You'll want to filter out the large bits of ginger etc. so you'll be better off sticking it in a barrel of some sort. I use a fermentation bin which is essentially just a big bucket with a lid. I just but the lid on the top and don't quite seal it so the C02(?) can escape. I think cling film would most likely pop smile

chinese mushroom soup:

Ingredients:

oyster/shitake mushrooms, torn/sliced respectively, the thinner the better, but not into overly small pieces!
salt
vegetable oil
ginger (chopped into small thin strips)
pork (cut very thin and small pieces)
chopped green chilli (to taste)
chopped spring onions (this is not in the recipe I was shown, but I think it works well: so it's another optional)

warning: this is the way they cook it here: this goes against a lot of safety advice

heat some oil in a wok: (about a few tablespoons worth)

when the oil is hot, pour in a saucepan of water (at arms length, preferably with the wok lid ready in hand in case of fire)

when the water boils put in the mushrooms, a teaspoon of salt and cook for 2 mins

add the pork

when the pork is cooked (it will change colour) add the ginger and spring onions (and any other leafy things you want to add) and cook for about 1min

serve hot.

smile

possible extras:

noodles
beef instead of pork (probably better with shitake mushrooms)
coarse chopped pak choi, or other leafy veg
egg (possibly: I haven't tried this myself, but it's a popular addition to soup in china)

haven't got exact amounts for this one, but: I would recommend you adjust amoounts to taste: I'm not mad about spicy food, so I tend not to put much chili in, if any, but it is nice with a little bite. Also, veggies could leave out the pork.

Because ActiveAngel sounds like a feminine deodorant

Like sex, I'm much more interesting in real life than online.
