Good evening one and all. I'll partake of those mince pies I think, with a large dollop of clotted cream, please.

Good evening Socco. Enjoy your pies.

Now that was one quiet night. All staff are reduced to part time working!
Were it not for Socco we would be overrun with mince pies........and clotted cream, well it really is clotting now.
I'll put the kettle on maybe someone will call in, have to be self service later as I have to be out this morning.
Have a nice and profitable day all :-)

Good morning Dave - you all ready for Xmas?
:>)

Not done to much to be honest,still looking for gifts,no rush..

Yourself

I think your baking has rubbed off on me,as i am going through a stage of baking fruit cakes.

No irony there i hope.

Can you beat this one bunny

butter 3/4 cup
vanilla essence 1/4 tsp
eggs 3
lemon juice 2 tsp
dried mixed fruit
plain flour 1.5/8 cups
baking powder 2 tsp
sugar 1 cup
ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp
ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp.

I know your a bit of a whizz .

Sounds yummy Dave, the recipe choice depends on how rich you want it really and how long you are going to let it mature and soak in booze!
Have you tried added the grated rind of a big orange to that mixture, some glace cherries and maybe a teaspoon of all-spice rather then individual spices, but then of course everyone has to like ginger etc and if they don't best to leave it as it is.
I'm no good on cup measurements LOL I only understand oz's or g's or tablespoons!
LOL

I see oz`s & g`s,,are they them numbers on them plastic jugs.

They're fl.oz (fluid ounces) and fluid milligrammes, on a measuring jug, you really want scales for ozs and gs as they are dry weights but I'm told it works out pretty much the same anyway. If you're used to cups hun you stick with 'em! ;>)
Most recipes these days give both cups and the others so no problem!
:>)
I'm cheating this year (again) due to time constraints, I've got a bought rich fruit cake from Tesco and I'll just marzipan and royal ice it - sad but true LOL

I've only been out for the morning, now we have a cookery class. What next :-)

You can wash up!
;>)

Thanks :-(
