Baking
Your mind is like a parachute…it functions best when open.
people who say they are gonna do something then dont do it grrrrrrr
it really winds me uphypocrite
surprised
To an extent I can understand the attitude of the public towards the parents, it’s unthinkable that in this day and age any child so young would be left alone for any period of time, it’s sad, but we do have to bear in mind there are so many sick individuals at large in the world today who grab any opportunity available. I DO NOT however agree that Maddie’s parents deserve what has happened to them or their child.
Obviously as this case has proved, checking back every half an hour isn’t good enough. These days your child isn’t safe playing outside their own front door, a sad but true fact.
It has also been recorded that most child abductors will watch the child and family to gain knowledge of their daily routine – leaving me to wonder did Maddie’s abductor watch her for some length of time?
And the powers that be, wonder why parents are in uproar over finding how many paedophiles are placed in houses amongst their estates, but we are not allowed to learn who they are in order to protect our children as best we can
My thoughts remain with the family of this little girl
I Truely hope they find her safe and well but sadly i think too much time has past for this to be possible i prey im proved wrongHome Grown Strawberries & greek yoghurt mmmmmmmmmm
3 year olds have way to much energy :lol: :D
Banana & Strawberry Lolly
Ingredients
* 2 Medium Bananas
* 12 x Strawberries (180g)
* 2 Tbsp Natural Low Fat Bio YoghurtMethod
1. Slice up the fruit.
2. Throw all the ingredients into a blender and blend till smooth.
3. Divide into 4 lolly makers and freeze over night.Yoghurt Cake or Yoghurt Muffins
20cm / 8″ cake tin, bottom lined with baking paper or greased with butter and dusted with flour
Oven temperature 170C fan / 190 C / 375 F / Gas 5
Wet Mixture
250 grms / 1 cup of thick plain yogurt
120 grms / 1 stick of butter melted (if using unsalted add 1/4 teaspoon of salt)
3 large eggs, lightly mixed together until blended
1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (not essence)Mix all together in a bowl.
Dry Mixture
275 grms / 2 cups of plain flour (all purpose)
200 grms / 1 cup of granulate or caster sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda), slightly rounded spoonMix all together in a separate bowl.
1-2 tablespoon of milk
FRUIT – if you want to add berries you can add as much as a cupful or a little as a handful.
Once you have the two separate bowl ready you can leave like this for a long time, you can even leave it overnight just put the yoghurt mixture in the fridge. Once you mix the two together however you can’t wait around as the bicarbonate of soda will start to react with the yoghurt and you want to make sure it does most of its work in the oven. For this reason make sure the tin is ready beforehand.
Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones and using a large spoon fold the two together until it’s all mixed and you can no longer see any flour.
The mixture should be slightly sloppy, not stiff and should fall off the spoon quite easily if it’s not add between 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk. If you are folding in fruit do it at this stage. When everything is mixed pour into prepared tin and bake for 40 mins. Check after 35 mins. If making muffins bake between 15-20 mins.
