Not my recipe. It's Delia's, possibly modified slightly, but this is the 'final' version that's ended up in mine and Bec's scribbled with Sharpie recipe book.
Really Nice Chocolate Brownies
Ingredients 2oz dark chocolate (ideally decent quality 70+% cocoa) 4oz butter 2oz plain flour 8oz sugar 2 eggs 1tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt
Optional ingredients to throw in for extra niceness chopped nuts sultanas chunks of chocolate
Grease and line a rectangular tin, preheat oven to 180 centigrade
Melt the butter and chocolate on a low heat
Mix together all of the other ingredients then add the chocolatey buttery goo.
Put in your tin, put your tin in the oven, in 25-30 minutes, they will be delicious. Don't worry if they're slightly underdone, they're meant to be nice and gooey.
I challenge you not to eat half the batch before they've cooled down. Make an excellent desert when warm with icecream or cream.
I'm tempted to brave the weather to go and get the ingredients I'm missing for Colon Cake.

oh, and I think I got the bicarb thing sussed, it's not very common overhere, but i'll find it! Try a pharmacy. Baking powder is just bicarb with rice flour to bulk it out.

Glad people like the cake, it really is awesome! Ive yet to try the other recipes due to living with the rents (my mother is insanely possessive of the kitchen!) Something my good friend Dean introduced me to. don't know who amongst my friends started making these first! They are awesome, but time consuming/fiddly/messy to make. Ho hum! Chilli PoppersIngredients: -Chilli's (the generic ones are good, you're looking for volume, so you can stuff it!) -Breadcrumbs (can subtitute crushed weetabix.... I prefer this!) -plain flour -milk -cream cheese -ordinary cheese (use whatever you like!) Ive not added weights/measures as Ive never quite got them right myself! Right, start by putting a slice lengthways down your chilli (oh-er!) not all the way through, but to make it like a hotdog bun if that makes sense. Then using a spoon, scrape out the seeds. Next, mix together in a roughly 1:1 ratio the cream cheese and the grated ordinary cheese.... you can customise here by adding whatever you want! If you like things HOT then add the seeds you scraped out to this mixture You could also season this if you like with pepper or herbs or whatever takes your fancy. We've discussed adding (cooked) bacon (cut up very very small) but not tried it yet. Now fill the empty chillis with the cheese mixture and close them up, the cheese mix tends to stick to itself and keep them closed Next roll them in milk, then immediately in flour. Allow to dry before rolling in milk and rolling in the breadcrumbs. You wont get a thick coating (anyone who knows how to thicken this coating up please shout) but definitely a coating. They should then look like this..... (on the left) Cook by deep frying! they should come out nice and golden brown. If you find you've made too much cheese mix for the number of chillis then you can roll the cheese into balls and then coat them in the breadcrumbs as you did with the chillis to make deep friend cheese balls (see the right hand side of the picture) Watch out for hot cheese!

The best way to thicken the coating up is to do it twice. That is what Me and Dean do when we make them.
Milk - Flour - Dry Milk - Breadcrumbs - Dry Milk - Flour - Dry Milk - Breadcrumbs - Dry.
Takes Ages, but well worth the effort. I can vouch for how damn good these are.

The previous playday at A52 i brought some of my dutch sausage rolls over, and most people there wanted to see how i make them, so i translated my recipe to English and here it is This recipe is good for about 84 ‘Worstenbroodjes’ (sausage roll thingies). IngredientsSausage thingies- 2,5kg minced beef - 3 eggs - 250 gram bread-crumbs - 40 gram minced beef seasoning (you can buy that overhere in the supermarkets ) - Nutmeg and black pepper Dough- 1150 gram milk - 40 gram white brown sugar ( Google translates the Dutch word Bastardsuiker as Brown sugar, but you need the white variaty of that… strange ) - 2 kg flour - 110 gram fresh yeast - 40 gram salt - 250 gram butter (leave it out of the fridge to go a little bit soft) Howto:Sausage thingiesMix all the ingredients together and devide the meat in 84 equal parts (~30 – 35 grams each) and form them into little sausages. DoughPut milk, sugar and yeast in a pan on the cooker, mix them and heat them until handwarm until all yeast is dissolved in the milk. Mix butter and salt together. Put the flour in a big bowl and put the milk in and mix thoroughly, add the butter and proceed to mix the dough.After a while, you can take it out of the bowl to make it easier to mix the stuff straight on the kitchentop. It’s a very sticky and messy job, but after a while (roughly 15-20 minutes) it starts to get unsticky and your hands will become cleaner and cleaner, that’s about when it’s mixed enough Put the dough back in the bowl and place a towel on top and leave it to rest for about 30 minutes. After that devide the dough in 6 equal parts (about 550 – 600 gram) and leave for another 10 minutes under a towel. Now devide each part in 14 smaller parts of about 40-50ish grams and roll them into a ball. Place the balls on a plate underneath a towel. After all the dough is devided you can start with making the rolls. Take a rolling pin and roll the balls into a slab (??), put the sausage in the middle and roll it into a roll (I will add pictures off this later, it’s an easy technique, but not easy to explain and I need to make some soonish anyway, because I ran out off the last batch ). Place the rolls on a baking plate and bake them for about 12 – 16 minutes in an oven preheated to about 225-250 degrees / 6 on a gasoven. (this is different every time I make them, depends on how the first batch looks ) If you want a nice, darker brown shade on top, use a beaten egg and put a bit on top off each roll before you shove it in the oven. If you also want them to shine a little bit, take a spray bottle with water and spray a little bit of water on top off the rolls when they come out off the oven. All these measurements about the dough and meat are not precise, because I don’t know how much the balls of dough/meat weigh, because I use this for deviding the stuff: This is why I guessed all the weights, this thing makes me 14 perfect balls of meat/dough in 1 go instead of putting them all seperatly on the scale! After a while you house will smell like a bakery and the kitchen will look like this: I hope this makes any sence, but I will add some pictures in a couple off weeks to show how to roll the sausages nice and easy

Just spotted this. Anyone who follows my facebook ramblings will know I like a bit of cookery...
Most of my stuff is just old fashioned recipies from a 1950s Good Housekeeping Homekeeper's Compendium :-)
Apple pie, pear crumble, pineapple upside down cake, cottage pie, etc.
I found an ace recipe for blueberry pie which worked out gorgeous.

For anyone on a low carb diet, try using grated cauliflower instead. Grate enough for the finished amount you want as it doesn't swell like rice. Stir fry it in a wok with a tiny amount of oil, just to stop it sticking, add a little curry powder or garam masala after a few minutes, then stir in a few frozen peas or a little finely chopped spinach.
Really does work well, doesn't taste at all like you would imagine cauliflower to taste.
A recipe using that does work well is a sort of stir fried biryani. Stirfry enough minced beef per person, and an onion or two chopped finely. Add a couple of tablespoon of Tandoori masala and fry until the meat is just cooked and turned red from the masala.
Add in the grated cauli and fry for a couple of minutes then add peas and/or spinach. The "rice" will start to go red, just taste until it is cooked through enough. Stick a curry sauce on top(optional) and you have a quick meaty meal for as many people as you can get food for into the wok.
A proper staple when money is tight, and tastes good. I always find, no matter how much I make, it is never enough, despite how filling it is. Like everyone else, I rarely measure.

Attempt number 1. Made the mixture as per the instructions above and have enough for 2 tins. Will be doing the other with the Whisky icing, and depending on how it tastes this will be making an appearance at Christmas!

Great thread! ColonelK, my wife makes chicken goujons and gets a thick crispy coating by dipping in flour, then egg then breadcrumbs, but she only uses Sainsbury's breadcrumbs as they are much better than any other.
