Terrific New eBook On How To Broil Delicious Foods There is nothing people like more at Christmas that giving thoughtful gifts to loved ones. Given these hard financial times however, you may be put off buying too many presents, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t make some lovingly created Christmas treats at home. Here are a couple of recipe ideas from IWOOT. Fudge. Here’s whats needed Method: Place all the ingredients into the pan and melt very slowly whilst stirring. The mixture should start to become a rich creamy-brown colour as it approaches 115oC on the thermometer. Take off the heat and stir until mixture becomes very tough and grainy. Dispense the mix into a couple of trays and leave for a good couple of hours to cool. When set, cut into cubes and enjoy Chocolate Chip Cookies. This is what you will need Method: Add flour, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl and mix together well with your hands or a spoon if you don’t want to get mucky. Throw in the egg and mix until you reach a tacky consistency. The mixture should then be separated into balls the size of a squash ball and laid on grease proof paper-lined oven trays. Leave a good couple of inches between each ball as they will spread out and expand. Heat in the oven at between 180-200oC for around 12 minutes, but it is best to keep and eye on the cookies as ovens vary in cooking speed. Leave to cool for 15mins before eating.
