We have a winner! Wolf guessed scones, I was afraid the currant would give it away.

Note the rather large proportion of flour to sugar. And yes soda bread would call for more soda.

Trilby · 06-26-2006, 12:55 PM

I knew it was scones, too, but came in late (better than not coming at all, eh?)

footfootfoot · 06-26-2006, 03:06 PM

Like my sister always said: "Better late than pregnant."

Okay, I'm filing that one away next to "The difference between soup and gravy is mostly how much you reduce it." Interesting, and it increases my understanding.

This will doubtless go astray, but it looks to me like it would make cookies:

1/4# sugar
1/4# butter
2 C flour
4 eggs
1C old fashioned oatmeal
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 C raisins ... the slow oven says they get cooked gently.

footfootfoot · 06-26-2006, 07:27 PM

Nice idea, I may try it, but I think it would be a bit dry even for cookies.
You've got three cups of dry in total, and a cup of eggs would make it a pretty chewy cookie.

I'll be back later, I've got a meeting

skysidhe · 07-07-2006, 04:50 PM

Too simple to be true: ?

1 cup of magarine or butter

1/2 cup of cocoa

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 cup of all purpose flour.

1/4 tsp salt

Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes.

BigV · 07-07-2006, 04:54 PM

sounds too simple. not edible. equal parts cocoa powder and flour? Gah. Where's the sugar? I like my brownies sweet-er than that. And what would that yield? About a cup and a half of brownie mix? What do you make it in, a single serving rammekin?

footfootfoot · 07-09-2006, 01:49 PM

Possibly hot cocoa mix?

Not a rammekin, an easybake oven! Your sister can hook you up

Let me know if you want the recipe - I'll dig it out

Dags

skysidhe · 07-27-2006, 01:08 PM

eww, no dosn't sound good but thank for the offer?

crab is scary enough fresh let alone eating a faux tasting crab cake made out of zucchini. yuk..... seems too strange. You could post it and let me see the ingredients to satisfy my curiosity.?? .....I am a lot bit sceptical here.

Dagney · 07-27-2006, 02:28 PM

hehehe

it's really not as bad as you're imagining, but you need to like the taste of old bay.

1 shredded zucchini - smallish
1 egg
salt, pepper, old bay to taste
bread crumbs

Mash it all together - like you're making salmon or crab cakes.

Brush with melted butter, broil for 4 minutes.
