This recipe is thanks to Andie who put up the link in the 'What are you cooking today?' section. These remind me of giant yorkshire puddings and can be topped with sweet or savoury topping. I had so much fun baking these - the sides just stand straight up out of the pan! ![Shocked :o](https://www.forumthermomix.com/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Dutch Pancakes Ingredients SWEET 2 eggs 125g milk 125g flour 1 pinch nutmeg 1 pinch cinnamon a drop vanilla extract 1 pinch salt 2 tbsp butter icing sugar, for dusting Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 225oC (hot-veryhot!). Place a cast-iron skillet in the oven while it preheats. 2. Put eggs on for 10sec sp4 until pale and frothy. Add in milk, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and salt and put on for about 20-30sec sp3-4 until smooth. 3. Add butter to skillet and coat well by tipping pan 'this way and that' til coating all up sides. Add batter to skillet and place back in oven. Bake about 20 minutes or until pancake is a light brown. 4. Remove from oven and dust with sugar or top with cream or curd or even mousse. Serve immediately. Tips: I used my baby skillet - 22cm and put double mix in my medium skillet - 24.5cm. In the savoury version I left out nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla and added a tsp of herbs and spices of choice and topping with shallots, tomato, olives etc. I think it is traditionally served in the pan but they do come out quite cleanly if you do want to serve on a plate. Oh and 1 baby one is huge!! You can share and will want to.

"When you haven't got time for overnight setting in the fridge or you don't want to use raw eggs, this mousse is perfect. In fact, at all times, constraints or not, it is chocaliciously gorgeous." ~ Nigella This recipe 'was made for' TMX!! If Nigella doesn't have one I'm sure she'd love one. It is Super easy and super scrummy!! Very dangerous - no waiting around 6 hours to set - could be making it alot more often then I should. Instant Chocloate Mousse:(Adapted from her site) Number of People: 4-6Ingredients:•150g marshmallows (I used pascalls mega mellows - just ripped them into bits as I put them in)•50g soft butter (unsalted)•250g good dark chocolate (I use Green and Black's 70%)•60g hot water •280g cream (pure)•1 teaspoon vanilla extract Preparation:1.Insert butterfly, sp 4, 20-40sec - Whip the cream with the vanilla until thick, firm peaks. (depends on your cream so keep an eye on it and don't end up with butter) 2.Scrape out and set cream aside. 3.Don't bother washing out bowl - Put the marshmallows, butter, chocolate and water in. 70 oC, sp 1-2, 5min. Melt altogether - knock speed up to 3 for a few seconds to make sure all melted together. 4.Allow to cool down a little and add cream and butterfly back to bowl and fold mix gently speed 1 for a few seconds. 5.Scrape into 4 glasses (175ml) or 6 smaller (125ml) ones, and chill until you want to eat. The sooner the better! Tips/Hints:This is RICH so I opted for smaller glasses but used bigger ones too and added strawberry foam and berries. You can watch her make it on YouTube. This is so easy it can be whipped up in 10min!! ![Wink ;)](https://www.forumthermomix.com/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I used this today to make my own wonderful creation - A choc mousse marshmallow slice!!! I made the bickie base in a slice tin and added the mousse mixture and a marshmallow mix on top of that and swirled it with a tooth pick, let it set and topped with toasted coconut. Very happy with that.

This is a French dessert cake. I had hardly noticed it in there before until my SIL was looking through my cookbook and said she makes it all the time (having a French hubby) Just wondering if Frozzy or anyone else in the know has made this. The rating, I'm still thinking about - but it has been eaten up by all - I am going to make it again and post a piccy. Definitely needs a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of cream. To me the best way to describe it is like custard and prunes - is that what it is Frozzy??

There are a few versions of Teacake on the forum but the EDC version hasn't been commented on - has anyone else had good success with this?? I really like the batter. The recipe is for 2 teacakes and has 4 eggs and 250g flour. If you were having a tea party, putting these in the traditional round tins would be lovely but I was catering for a large function so suited me to put in a Lamington tin for ease of cutting up and serving. The mix is big enough to fill lamington tin wonderfully. The EDC recipe has almonds on top but I put apple and cherries (bottle) - thumbs up from everyone at school. Not even any left to take a picture of.

Put 500g mixed fruit 125g butter 150g rapadura sugar (or any sugar) 250 water into bowl for 10 min ![counterclock :-:](https://www.forumthermomix.com/Smileys/default/dir_icon_counterclock.gif) speed ![soft ^^](https://www.forumthermomix.com/Smileys/default/dir_icon_soft.gif) at 100 oC Let cool to about 70 oC and Pour into 'big' mixing bowl add 1 tsp bicarb (foams up) and then add 200g cooled cooked pumpkin and 50g golden syrup (or molasses for darker fruit cake) 1 tsp mixed spice 1/2 tsp cinnamon - Stir gently. Make sure mix is cooled right down and fold in 250g flour + 2 tsp baking powder (or use SR flour) Pour into square tin and cook at 180 oC for 1 hour. ![Smiley :)](https://www.forumthermomix.com/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) This is the cake I bake when there are no eggs. members' commentsUni - Just out of the oven it smells soooooooo good. Lucky I am not a fan of fruit cake, will have too wait for DH to give me thumbs up or down, I am sure it will be up. I used sweet potatoes and walnuts in mine. Thanks Nay-nay. My mix was all so very, very dry when mixing it and did not rise at all but DH gave it 2 thumbs up. Nay-nay - it doesn't really rise that much. MJ - I used brown sugar as I don't have rapadura. I also swapped out 150g water for 150g sherry and added 2 eggs. My cake rose really well. I cooked it a little slower (170C FF) and longer 1 hr 10 mins) and lined my tin with two layers of brown paper, like I always do for fruit cakes.

We recently had a free range pig killed. We learnt from our last free range pig that the meat was extremely lean - which doesn't make the best pork products like bacon and ham - too rubbery. They also don't grow that big. So we decided we would get the whole lot made into sausages. This is a real treat for the house as I don't buy sausages as you just can't know for sure what is actually in them. The butcher is a personal friend and was very happy to accommodate my request of preservative free and that i wanted to supply the seasoning that went in them. This is what I came up with using this sausage recipe site as a guide. I made up my own mixes by swapping a couple things around and by multiplying recipe to put into 10kg of mince. If your are making your own mince at home with the TMX and don't have sausage machine you could use mix to make rissoles or a kofta style sausage. Hungarian Raisin • pork mince: 1kg. • Coarse salt: 1 tablespoon • Ground black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon • sweet paprika: 1 tablespoon • garlic powder: 1 tbsp • Ground allspice: 1 teaspoon • raisins: 130g Whizz the whole spices to powder first then add raisins and powdered spices and whizz together. Remember to use cling wrap in between lid and jug so that powder doesn't fill kitchen (and lungs)
Breakfast sausage • pork mince: 500g. • Coarse salt: 1/2 tablespoon • sage: 1/2 teaspoon • thyme: 1/3 teaspoon • Ground nutmeg: 1/8 teaspoon • Ground marjoram: 2/3 teaspoon • ginger: 1/2 tsp • Ground black pepper: 1/3 teaspoon
Spanish Chorizo • pork mince: 1 kg. • Coarse salt: 1 tablespoon • Garlic powder: 2 tbsp • Ground nutmeg: 1 teaspoon • Brown sugar: 2 tablespoon • Smoked paprika : 1 tablespoon • sweet paprika: 1tbsp • chilli flakes: 1 tablespoon
Your butcher may add water to mix and also want to add some kind of binder. Ideally Tapioca flour would be good but I could only find tapioca that had 220 in it at the supermarket which would have defeated the purpose of having preservative free. So we had "No Egg" as the binder. It has potato flour and tapioca flour in it. These sausages taste so wonderful and I think for me it is mainly because I know exactly where it came from. ![Wink ;)](https://www.forumthermomix.com/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

This little recipe is thanks to Frozzie. We don't have any allergies as such but it is excellent for when our hens aren't laying as many eggs. 300g oil 150g milk 1/2 tsp salt 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
Weighed the oil out in a bowl ready to use. Put the milk and salt in the the bowl and heat for 1 min speed 4 at 37 degrees. Mix for 3 mins, 37 degrees, speed 5 while pouring the oil onto the lid with the MC in place. Add the lemon juice (or vinegar) and mix for10 secs speed 3. Add other flavours as you desire - garlic, mustard, pepper Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Thanks Frozzie

Has anyone tried these wonderful little gems??!! I discovered them at our little fruit shop on Wednesday and really love them! They are called Achacha and are from Amazon Basin of Bolivia now grown in North QLD. The name translates "Honey Kisses" so you can imagine they are quite tasty. I don't know how to explain but maybe a citrus lychee comes to mind??? Don't throw away skins we have been drinking what we call Chacha water all week. This recipe is straight off the website. http://www.achacha.com.au/eating.html First make skin infusion: Place washed skins, after eatting the white fleshy part of the fruit, into a container of water. Blend or simply soak the skins in the water. Use skins from 6 fruit per litre. Leave in fridge, overnight, or for many days and use as required. Note: Seeds remaining from pulping the Achacha can also be infused with skins Then: if you want (we didn't bother sweetening - we liked it just how it was) Add honey or Stevia. Keep chilled in fridge until ready to use. Add a sprig of mint if desired. This refreshing drink has been used for centuries in Bolivia as a thirst quencher. Check out the recipes on their site, they would easily be made in Thermie and are authored by chefs like Alastair McLeod and Teresa Mustafa de Ribera. eg - Baroque Achacha Cocktail.

It is lovely. http://www.hardlotion.com/howtomakelotionvideo/ 120g beeswax 120g Shea butter 150 coconut oil melt together (beeswax needs to be melted at 80C) I also added 2 Capsules of Vit E (Pin prick and squeeze in) I poured into clamshell moulds from http://www.aussiesoapsupplies.com.au/Clamshells-c-128.html It made 10.

Ds son looked up this recipe to make for his vegetarian music teacher. I thought it was exactly like the bought one I used to buy years ago. Give it a whizz. ![Wink ;)](https://www.forumthermomix.com/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
•1 1/3 cup Brewer's Yeast Flakes - I didn't have this and replaced it with 150g Whey powder. •3 TBS Onion Powder •2 ½ tsp Garlic Powder •2 ½ TBS Salt •1 tsp Celery Seed •2 ½ TBS Italian Seasoning •2 TBS Parsley, dried Put everything except parsley in to whizz up til fine. I always put glad wrap over bowl before putting lid on when mixing spices so powder does not escape. Stir through parsly gently so it stays intact. That's it!! How easy. ![Wink ;)](https://www.forumthermomix.com/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
