Creating a Champagne Life on a Beer Budget

February 16, 2016

A sweet treat (or two ) to add to a cup of tea or coffee.

A few of you asked for something sweet when I did these menus in the past.  I admit I do not eat a lot of sweet things, So for me to not have biscuits, cakes and chocolate is not a big deal.  I have, however, acknowledged that many of you do crave a bit of sugar in your lives 🙂 so I came up with this 2-in-1 recipe that does not sacrifice all your eggs and butter as sweet treats.

I made this recipe by combining two basic recipes and diving the batter to create 8 little cornflake cookies and 6 fruit salad cupcakes.  They are just enough to satisfy that 11:00am craving for “something” with that morning tea cuppa.

 

 

“Sweet Treats – 2 in 1 “
Makes 6 cupcakes & 8 Biscuits

Ingredients:

1 egg
¼  cup (62g)  Butter
⅓  cup (74g) Sugar
¾  cup plus one tablespoon (120g) Self Raising Flour
      Plus
½ cup Cornflakes
¼ cup canned fruit salad well drained
Milk

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced oven.  Line muffin pan with papers
    Place baking paper on a small baking pan
  2. Place the ¼ cup of fruit salad in a strainer over a bowl and allow to drain well.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.  Add egg and beat until well combined.
  4. Add the flour and mix well.
  5. Divide the batter into 2 bowls at this point.
  • In one bowl, add ½ cup cornflakes. Mix gently and divide into 8 small teaspoonful’s.  (they should be about the size of a 50c piece, they will spread a bit in the oven)
  • Place on the baking sheet, press down slightly to flatten and sprinkle with a little bit of sugar. (the sugar will add a sweet crunch to the top of the biscuit)
  • In the second bowl, lightly stir together the remaining batter, adding the fruit and a little bit of milk if it needs it. (maybe at most 2 tablespoons)
  • Spoon into muffin cases.
  • Place both pans into the oven. Check after 15minutes.  The biscuits should be ready, while the cupcakes may be needing another few minutes.
  • Remove biscuits from oven and allow to cool. When the cupcakes are ready, remove from oven, leaving them in the muffin pans for 2 minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack to cool
