It has become something of a tradition now that when our friend Rob has a birthday we all gather in the park at the Birthday Tree (which grows balloons once a year) to have a big picnic and play games. This year I decided to bake some family favourites; Brunch and Picnic Slice and thought I would share the recipes. Both these recipes are quick to make and don't have too many ingredients, making them perfect for a quick bake on a day when you really want to be in the sunshine!
The Brunch recipe is in American cups but my Mum uses a teacup instead and it works great, so don't worry if you don't own a set of cups!
Brunch Slices
1½ cups self raising flour,
1½ cups cornflakes, crushed,
1½ cups dessicated coconut,
6oz Stork,
¾ cup sugar,
Icing sugar and hot water to ice it with after.
1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. Melt the Stork in a pan over a low heat then stir in all the other ingredients (expect the icing sugar and hot water).
Picnic Slice
8oz/200g chocolate (I use Cadbury’s Dairy Milk),
2oz/50g Stork,
4oz/100g caster sugar,
1 large egg,
4oz/100g dessicated coconut,
2oz/50g glace cherries, halved,
2oz/50g sultanas,
1. Melt the chocolate, either in a bowl over hot water or in the microwave, and spread in the bottom of a lined tin. Leave to cool.
3. Cream together the Stork and the sugar,
4. Mix in all the other ingredients and spread on top of the cooled chocolate.
7. When it has completely cooled take it out of the tin and add to your picnic hamper!
Hope you enjoy these recipes, we are looking forward to nomming them tomorrow!
