Before my visit to Glenn Field last weekend I had planned on going shopping for the following ingredients. But what did I plan to bake and take to celebrate Paul Travers' mevellous aim and victory over the martian mambas?
- 8 oz/ 225g self raising flour
- 1 tsp double action baking powder (US) or 1 tsp baking powder (UK)
- 4 oz/110g soft butter or margarine
- 2 oz/ 55g granulated sugar
- 4 0z/ 110g mixed dried fruit
- 2 oz/ 55g currants
- 1 medium egg
- 1 - 3 tbsp milk
- Demerara sugar for sprinkling
- Oil for greasing
Ah, space cook challenge - you did say you'd do it!!

ReplyDeleteEdible Martian Rock Snakes perhaps? (the rock part not being a comment on your baking skills Woodsy ;-)
ReplyDeleteokay Woodsy, the wife just read this post and is guessing a small fruitcake :-)
ReplyDeleteArto and Ed, your'e both right. It is in fact the list of ingredients for rock cakes, a fat rascal type cake with a glace cherry on top. Rock cake/ rock snake. My little joke.
