Ok, have done the apples, they look and smell great.  Will make the cake a bit later.

Just one? Great, now I've gotta be on the ball for the rest of the day.  Better go and make myself a coffee.

Excellent.  Now comes the next (dumb) question - how long do you cook them for, and with how much water?

Do you peel the apples or leave the skins on?
I'm keen to try this recipe this week.

Special Diets / buckwheat pancakes
« on: May 18, 2009, 02:52:10 am »
These are delicious.  The batter may seem quite runny but they make a lovely thin pancake that rolls up really nicely.

Buckwheat Pancakes

75g buckwheat flour
75g cornflour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
1 egg
20g oil
250g milk

Add dry ingredients to bowl and mix for 10 seconds on speed 5.  Scrape down sides if necessary.  Add the rest of the ingredients and mix for 30 seconds on speed 5.

I find that adding a teaspoon of bicarb soda to the soaking water helps soften up chickpeas nicely.  I highlighted soaking water cause noone wants the taste of bicarb in their beans  :D.

Cookie, these look great but they wouldn't be suitable for gluten intolerant people, even without the flour, because oats contain gluten.  I'm the only coeliac in my household though, so I'll be making these for the kids! Thanks!

Bonjour!  I'm a French speaking Australian. I hope you have lots of fun with your TM31 - I've had mine for nine days now and I'm still overawed!

Jams and Chutneys / Plum Jam
« on: May 13, 2009, 02:24:18 pm »
I made the plum jam from the new Everyday cookbook and it turned out great.  I did add half a packet of Jam Setta just to be sure, as it was my first time with making jam.

I would suggest taking the pips out of the plums first, though.  I followed the instructions which said to take the pips out at the end, but they were so crushed up that even though I strained the jam through a colander, there are still tiny bits in there.  I will eat it myself (it's yum!!) but I won't give it to anyone else just in case they break a tooth.

I used guar gum - I assumed it was the same thing... maybe it's not.

Thanks, I'll ask her. I've also texted my demonstrator to see if she can come around next week to give me a hand.
