Apricot Mogul Cake

You can substitute the apricots for stewed apples or tinned sliced peaches. One large tin of apricots will make two cakes. This is delicious taken on a picnic served directly out of the tin.

125gms butter
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup self raising flour
tinned apricots, drained well

Line a 8” square tin with Multix baking paper.

Cream butter and sugar in a food processor then put in remaining ingredients, except the apricots. Whizz for 30 seconds then tip out onto a piece of Multix cling and gather into a ball. Divide into two and roll out each piece between two pieces of Multix cling into a rough square shape so that it will fit in the tin.

Lay one piece down on the baking paper using your finger to push the dough into the corners – it will look very thin but this is how it should be. Arrange a layer of apricots cut side down on top making sure that the whole of the dough is covered. Now cover with the other piece of dough. If there are gaps at the sides just piece together with bits of dough.

Cook in a 175ºC oven for 25 minutes. Cut into squares. Serve hot or cold.

Cheese Sables (makes approx 40)

1 cup plain flour
2 rounded tablespoons self raising flour
1 teaspoon curry powder
½ teaspoon dry mustard
125gms butter
60gms grated Parmesan cheese
75gms grated Vintage Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Put flours, curry powder, dry mustard and butter in food processor. Process until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add lemon juice and cheeses and process for a few seconds . Now tip mixture out on to a piece of Multix Cling Wrap, using the wrap to knead the dough into a ball. Put the dough on to a new large piece of Multix Cling Wrap and roll into a cylinder, trying to make it as even and round as possible. The biscuits photographed were 3cm in diameter but you can choose to make them larger or smaller. Chill in fridge for 1 hour. Cut into 5mm thick slices and arrange on a tray covered with a sheet of Multix Baking Paper, allowing for room to spread when cooking. Sprinkle a little of the Parmesan cheese on top and bake in a 175ºC oven for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown. Check the bottom of the biscuits as they need to be golden brown underneath so the biscuits remain crisp once cold. Cool on a wire rack and store in a Multix Container.

Makes a great gift.

NB Sometimes when you cut the slices you may have slight air holes in the dough. This will rectify itself in the cooking process.

Ocean Trout with Hot Potato Salad (Serves 4)

600g ocean trout
300g new potatoes
1 dessertspoon mayonnaise
1 dessertspoon cream
1 spring onion
1 dessertspoon finely chopped dill
salt & pepper
lemon juice
Multix Bake

Cut out large heart shapes from the Multix Bake.

Slice the ocean trout as finely as possible on the diagonal. Cook the potatoes until you are just able to pierce them with a skewer – just as if you were cooking them for a potato salad. Cool and then cut into small dice.

Finely chop the spring onions and mix with the potatoes. Add the mayonnaise, cream and dill. Pile a quarter of the potatoes into the centre of one side of each paper heart. Arrange one quarter of the ocean trout in slightly overlapping slices on top. Sprinkle a little lemon juice over the trout and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining hearts.

Fold over the other half of the paper heart and seal by folding edges over twice in a twisting motion commencing at the broad end of the parcel. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 8 – 10 minutes at 190°C.

Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of dill. Cut the hearts open at the table.

Quick and Easy Brownies

This is a cheats version and is very good to put in lunch boxes or serve for afternoon tea. All ovens are different and you may have to adjust the cooking time accordingly. If you find the brownie hasn’t cooked around the edges you will need to cook it longer.

125gms butter, melted
½ cup cocoa
1 cup sugar
130gms SR flour
1 cup pecans, toasted in oven then chopped
2 eggs ,whisked
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Mix all ingredients in a bowl beating for 2 minutes. Spoon into a 20cm square tin lined with Multix Bake. Cook for 15 minutes in a 160ºC oven. It will be still soft in the middle which will give it the fudge like texture that you want. Cut into squares once cold.

Tip
It’s easy to chop the nuts while they are still warm – they don’t scatter everywhere! Alternatively, place the nuts into a Multix Freezer bag and use a rolling pin to crush roughly.

Poached Eggs

Boil water with 1 teaspoon salt. Cover a small bowl with Multix Cling.
Make sure you have plenty of cling overhanging. Lightly spray cling with oil. Gently break one egg into the cling. Carefully seal the overhanging cling together. You may use a kitchen tie to keep it closed. Make sure you have removed as much air as possible. When water comes to the boil, remove from heat source. Wait a few seconds then gently place the egg into the water. Immediately cover pot. Let sit undisturbed for 3½ minutes for a runny yolk, 4 minutes for soft yolk and 4½ minutes for hard yolks. Remove egg from the cling immediately after cooking so that the plastic comes away easily.

Tip
If you are preparing more than 2 eggs, remember the addition of eggs will cool down the water quicker, so you can leave them in the pot longer.
