Lightly fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, I use a small hand whisk for this.
Lastly gently fold in the golden syrup.  Do not beat it in.

Pour the mixture into two greased and lined 8" (20cms) round cake tins and bake for 20 - 25 mins.

Non Thermomix Recipes / Braised Steak and Onions
« on: March 03, 2016, 12:42:43 am »
Braised Steak & Onions.  As requested by Astarra.

The original recipe came from Best Recipes.

1kg oyster blade steak, trimmed
Seasoned flour
2 tablespoons oil
60g butter
3 onions halved and thickly sliced
1 tablespoon flour extra
2 1/4 cups water -  I used less than this
1 or 2 beef stock cubes
1 teaspoon vegemite - I don't use this
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper
Pinch of nutmeg.

Dust the steak lightly with the seasoned flour
Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the steaks well on each side.  Place in a dutch oven.  I dont have one of these so use a casserole dish
Repeat with the remaining steaks
Add butter to the frying pan and mix with the pan juices
Add the onions and cook until transparent, stir in the extra flour and cook for 2 mins.
Gradually add water and stock cubes, stir until the sauce boils and thickens a little.
Add vegemite if using, tomato paste and sauce
Pour the sauce over the meat, cover and cook for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

Shortbread

250g SR Flour
185g Butter
90g Sugar
60g Semolina or Ground Rice - I used semolina

1. Preheat oven to 200 deg. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2. Put all the ingredients into the TM bowl and mix for 15 - 20 seconds on speed 6.
3. Set the dial to knead and knead on for 20 seconds or until the mixture comes together.
4.Tip the mixture onto a silmat and bring it together into a ball.  Wrap in cling wrap and put into the fridge for 1/2 hour.
5. Roll into a sausage shape and cut into pieces.
6. Place on baking trays and prick the tops with a fork.   Sprinkle with sugar if desired.

Turn the oven down to 150 deg and bake for 1/2 hour, then turn the oven down again to 120 deg and bake for a further 1/2 hour.

My oven temperature fluctuates so mine biscuits cooked a bit quicker than the stated time.

CHRISTMAS / Apricot & Almond Cheesecake Balls
« on: December 14, 2015, 07:58:27 am »
The recipe is from the Best Recipes site and made in the tmx.

Apricot & Almond Cheesecake Balls.

250g cream cheese softened
150g dried apricots
110g slivered almonds
150g white chocolate melted.  I did this in the microwave.

Place the almonds in the  *: and chop for a few seconds, you still want small pieces of almonds not powder.  Set aside.
Place the apricots into the  *: and chop 10 seconds speed 6 or until finely chopped.  Set aside
Place the cream cheese into the bowl and mix 20 seconds speed 5.
Add the apricot pieces and melted chocolate and mix 10 seconds speed 4.
Put the mixture into the fridge for about 15 mins. to harden up a little.
Roll teaspoons of mixture into balls and then roll them in the chopped almonds pressing the almonds on lightly so they stick.
Refigerate until firm.

Next time I think I will add the finely chopped almonds to the mixture and then roll the balls in coconut.

I made this beetroot cavair this afternoon and then did some pikelets to put it on.

There is a little bit too much garlic in it for my taste but other than that it was quite nice.

Katiej- I made this cake today. After melting the butter and golden syrup for the 2 minutes, I scraped down the sides of the bowl and then gave it another 30 seconds as my butter wasn't completed melted (I did use really cold butter straight from the fridge though).
I made lemon icing as suggested and it really compliments the cake.

It's a lovely cake and reminds me of my childhood. Thanks for the recipe Mab!

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Risotto
« on: December 30, 2013, 01:25:25 am »
I want to make Chelsea's Honey Baked Pumpkin Risotto.  Is it possible to make half quantity and if so how much water do I use?  I think I read somewhere about not reducing the liquid in risottos but wouldn't this make the risotto too runny
