Okay, so i do alot of baking and cooking when i get bored and When im on the IRC i tend to mention that im baking/cooking so people dont feel offended when i dont reply to them quickly. But the reason i mentioned that is because most of the stuff I say im baking/cooking gets people saying they want some, so i thought that i would share the recipes of the things I do make, I will keep updating this when i make things, and when I get a decent camera i will edit pre-existing posts with pictures of the finished products.
So to kick start my 'Cookbook' here is the recipe for:
Sugar Mice and Shells
Ingredients:
2lb/900g Icing sugar
2 egg whites
3oz/75g golden syrup
Icing sugar + cornflour for dusting
Silver balls (small editing balls for baking) for the eyes
Narrow ribbon (for tails)
Food dye (for if you want colours)
Method:
-:- Sift the icing sugar into a bowl
-:- Put egg whites and golden syrup into a bowl and gradually work in the icing sugar (should create a firm paste)
-:- Divide and wrap half of the paste, Divide the unwrapped half into 8 portions plus a small ball.
-:- Shape the peices into any mouse shape of your choice
-:- use little bits of the small ball to form the mouse's ears and press small silver balls into the mould to make the eyes, cut a small slit into the back end of the mouse and add a little piece of ribbon for a tail
-:- Leave on non-stick cooking paper for two days to dry (leave in airtight container)
~ Divide remaining icing into six
~ Roll out each on a surface that has been dusted with icing sugar
~ Dust six Scallop shells with cornflour and press the icing into the shell so it moulds into the contours (use moulds of any kind if you dont have shells)
~ Leave to dry out for 2 days in a cool dry place
~ Turn out of moulds and dry out completely for one more day
Extra:
Put two sugar shells together and fill with a filling of your choice to make them even more enjoyable
