Almond candy

Leave a comment

I like all sorts of candy. What I don`t like is all the sugar it contains. I sometimes feel sick when I eat too much of it. That`s why I`m excited that I`ve found a recepy for a healthier candy, almond candy. I like almonds but they don`t taste much as they are. This recepy makes them tasty and there`s not much sugar involved.

You don`t have to bake the almonds for a long time in this recepy and that means you don`t remove all the nutrients from the nut. Almonds are healthy and they are filled with protein, vitamin B and E and magnesium. I know it would be better to eat them without a sugar but sugar almonds are better than no almonds.

Ingredients:

1,5 tablespoons golden syrup

1 tablespoon sugar

A pinch of salt

100 gr sweet almonds

Oven 175 C

Mix syrup, sugar and salt in a saucepan on low heat. Don`t let the mixture boil. The heat is only suppose to help in blending the ingredients. Add the almonds and coat them in the melted sugar.

Place the almonds on a baking paper. Make sure they`re not in one big lump. Spread them evenly on the paper. Put the paper on a oven tray.  Bake for 8 minutes in the middle of the oven.

Tasty!

Easy baking

Leave a comment

I made the easiest cookies today. I had bought puff pastry because I like it and I thought I would do something with it. The one you buy is tasty and I would never do it myself. The amount of time it takes is not for someone as lazy as me. You have to roll the dough and put butter in it, let it cool and then roll it again for I don`t know how many times.

I put apple sauce and cinnamon on the puff pastry. I rolled it together and brushed beaten egg on top. I also put pearl sugar on it.

I baked it for 20 minutes at 200 C in the middle of the oven.

It was tasty!

20161124_15181620161124_15360320161124_17541920161124_175540I like all things that are easy to make. Scones are easy to bake. They taste good and they don`t feel as unhealthy as other cakes. I find them to be cross between a cookie and a bread.

I`ve tried many different scones recepies but I think these are the most tasty ones. These scones contains both eggs and sugar which makes them really good.

Ingredients:

7,5 dl wheat flour

0,5 teaspoon salt

1,5 teaspoon baking powder

0,5 dl sugar

125 gr butter

1 egg

2 dl milk

Oven: 250 C

Mix all the dry ingredients. Add the butter, egg and milk. Stir until the batter is even.

Make 10 scones and put them on a baking tray. Put some beaten egg and sugar on top of them. Bake for 10 minutes in the middle of the oven.

Flap jack

Leave a comment

I don`t know what to think about flap jacks. When I make them nothing goes as it should. This time I couldn`t cut them in pieces after they had been in the oven. They fell apart when I did. I had to put the warm mixture in cupcake papers to make some kind of cakes out of it.

Anyway they are the easiest snacks you can make. You just put the ingredients in a pan to mix them together and then it all goes in the oven in a tin.

Ingredients

150 gr butter

0,5 dl golden syrup

1 dl sugar

5 dl oatmeal

0,5 teaspoon salt

1 dl dried fruits

Oven: 175 C

Melt the butter, syrup and sugar in a pan. When it has melted add the rest of the ingredients and stir.

Put the mixture in a tin and bake for 15-20 min in the bottom half of the oven.

 

Cake crumbs

Leave a comment

I felt like baking coconut cakes and I did. They were fine fresh out of the oven but when I tried to get them off the baking paper they became crumbs. It doesn`t even resemble a cake now! Haha, it`s like there`s been a cake car crash. I don`t know what I did wrong. I couldn`t take them off the baking paper right away because they were to fragile. When I did the bottom of the cake got stuck on the paper and they got ruined.

I was making dinner when I tried to take them off the paper and when it didn`t work I began eating the crumbs. I thought that because I can`t serve them I might as well eat them myself. They were tasty. I almost ate them all. I thought I would write down the recepy if anyone like to make them. I don`t know how to make them not stick.

50 gr butter

2 eggs

1,5 dl sugar

5-6 dl coconut flakes

Oven: 175 C

Melt the butter and let it cool. Whisk the eggs and sugar.

Add the butter and coconut flakes. Use a spoon and make piles of the mixture on a baking paper. I made 18 cakes.

Bake for 12 minutes in the middle of the oven.

 

Cupcakes

Leave a comment

I think cupcakes are tasty. I don`t want them with frosting I want them without it. Even if frosting is fine I think it makes the cupcake only taste of the frosting and nothing else. I don`t like the big ones either. They are too big. These days many coffee houses only have the big ones and I don`t like them. It`s like eating a meal because they are huge.

I made a delicious chocolate cupcake yesterday that was the right size ( for me ). It was also nice and gooey on the inside.

100 gr butter
2 eggs
2,5 dl sugar
1,5 tea spoons vanilla sugar
A pinch of salt
4 tablespoons cocoa
2 dl wheat flour
0,5 tea spoon baking powder

Oven: 200 C

Melt the butter and let it cool. Whisk the eggs and sugar. Add all the other ingredients except the butter. Mix them together. Add the butter.

Put the mixture in cupcake papers ( or what it`s called ). Bake for 10 minutes in the middle of the oven.

Don`t bake them for more than 10 minutes. They look unfinished when you take them out and that`s what makes them gooey.
