Marshmellow Grandma's Recipe of Awesomeness

This recipe is super fantastic, it has never failed me.  The secret is in the beating until nearly set and tastes absolutely delicious.  it can be put on top of a biscuit base or just left as it and rolled in coconut so it is easy to pick up.

RECIPE

1C Icing Sugar, 1/2t Vanilla Essence, 1C Boiling Water, Food colouring, 2 dessertspoons Gelatine

Mix all together and beat until firm and starting to set, pour into buttered containers and chill, can spread onto back of wine biscuits or roll into balls and cover with coconut

Cup of Tea Loaf

This loaf is really delicious.  It is moist because of the tea and it has never failed me.  Such a great recipe.  Nice with butter on when cold but doesn't need it.

RECIPE

1 1/2C Sultanas, 1C Cold Tea, 1 1/2C Flour (wholemeal & plain), 1/2t Salt, 3/4C Sugar, 2t Baking Powder, 1 Egg

Place sultanas in basin and pour tea over, leave 4-5 hours or overnight, sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together and add sultanas, beat egg lightly, add to mixture, mix well, turn into greased and lined loaf tin

Bake in a moderate oven 300-350f 60 minutes, leave in tin 5 minutes before turning out

Ricebubble Crunch

This is a really fantastic recipe.  If you don't cook long enough it will be chewy but exactly right it is crunchy, too long and it is burnt.  If you don't cut while warm it will break up if you cut when set.  If you cut when warm you then have to cut over the lines again when set.  Another favourite of mine.

RECIPE

2T honey, 110g butter, 80g sugar, 5C ricebubbles

Boil together 3-4 minutes on stove, add ricebubbles, put in buttered tray, cut while warm, chill in fridge

Ginger Beer without waiting for fermentation

This is a great recipe for a large group of people when you don't want to wait a long time for fermentation.  Just a couple of hours is all and it is ready to go, a great favourite of mine.

RECIPE

3C sugar, 12 raisins, 1 level dessertspoon ginger, juice of 3 lemons, 1T dried yeast, 1/2t cream of tartar

Place in a large container the sugar and lemon juice, tie in a cloth the ginger and raisins, pour on four pints of boiling water, stir well, add eight pints of cold water, add 1 tablespoon of dried yeast and half a teaspoon of cream of tarter, stir all together and stand one or two hours, bottle and keep in fridge, does not need airtight tops, makes 3-4 flagons

1 pint = 600 mls
