Happy Days

A happy afternoon spent messing about on boats.

Choccy piggies!

Lucky me, I received these for my birthday earlier in the year and haven't had the heart to open them up to now...
But they're squealy yummy! I don't think they'll last long...

Empty ironing basket!

Yay!!

Grandma's Apple Pie

Line a pie tin with pastry, peel 2 Bramley apples and slice into chunks, place apple on pastry and sprinkle over 3/4 tablespoons of sugar. Cover apple with a pastry lid, crimp the edges to seal and brush with beaten egg and sprinkle sugar on before baking in a hot oven for 30 mins.
Cooking the apple this way results in a more "appley" flavour to the finished pie and gives a better texture.

Yorkshire Puds

Mix a cup of plain flour with a cup of eggs and a cup of milk.
Pour batter into yorkshire pudding tray half filled with hot oil or beef fat from your joint of beef.
Bake until risen and golden (approx 20-30 mins)
