Dead easy and tasty recipes

Easy Yorkshire puddings.

Eggs
Plain white flour
milk
Salt&pepper
Bun tray

For Sunday roasts, dead easy.

Use one egg per person

Easiest way is to pour Eggs into a pint pot.

For example. 4 eggs in a pint pot. Mark where eggs come to with a felt tip(if you don't have a measuring jug)

Pour into a bowl, add same quantity of milk, semi or full fat, skimmed not ideal. Pour milk into bowl. Wash and dry glass or jug. Same amount of plain flour.

Whisk egg n' milk up, if you have no whisk, use two forks back to back and whisk as vigorously as when you once thought of Pamela Anderson; )

Then shake flour gently into mix whilst stirring, and add in a gentle shake of salt n' pepper.

Pour into a non stick bun tin that you have smeared a little butter in each tray.

Whack oven on full and put tray in oven to heat up.
Take out hot tray, pour in the mix to 1cm of top, then pop into the oven.
Don't open till at least 5-7 minutes. Easy if you have a glass panel to see them rise.
Bake till golden brown.

You'll never want Aunt Bessie's again!

Easy cheese n' onion pie.

1 400/450gm pack of mature or extra mature cheddar Cheese.
320gm pack of shortcrust pastry(sheet)
1 large or 2 medium onions
1egg
100mls of milk, I use semi skimmed.
White/black pepper
Worcester sauce
Sprinkle of flour
23cm(9") metal pie dish
Kitchen chopping board
Rolling pin

Roll pastry out on a lightly floured dusted kitchen chopping board to between 1/3 to half thickness of the pre rolled sheet.

Smear the pie tin with a thumbnail size blob of butter/margarine to stop pastry sticking to tin. Carefully lift pastry and place over tin, pressing pastry against the surface of the pie tin. Run a blunt knife around edge of tin to cut off the excess pastry and roll into a ball.

Chop onions into 5-10mm chunks. Add to microwavable bowl, cover in cling film . Prick cling film with a fork. Microwave 1 minute. Take out, gently shake onions and reheat for 1 more minute.

Let onions cool down whilst grating cheese. Mix cheese and onion together with fingers and add the mixed up cheese n' onion to pastry case in pie tin.

Lightly sprinkle with either white or black pepper, I prefer white. Add 4-6 splashes of Worcester sauce if you like(personal taste)

Pour 100ml milk into a bowl, crack agg and add it to the milk. Whisk until all mixed into a a constant shade of light yellow.

Pour evenly into pie, saving a small amount to smear on top of pie.

Roll out rest of pastry to same thickness in tin. Place on top and press patry around rim of tin with thumbs, better still, I use the prong of a fork to seal the lid.

Use a pastry brush(or fingers) to smear a bit of whisked egg/milk into pastry lid. Slice a knife gently in pie lid with three 3cm cuts. This allows steam to release whilst cooking.

Preheat oven to 200°/Gasmark 6 and bake around 25/35 mins or until top of pie is golden brown. If crust is golden brown on the heat I suggest, pie will be cooked.

Also, I forgot to mention. I sometimes add 2 slices of grilled bacon. If you fancy adding bacon grill to medium, trim fat and chop up into bits. Add to mix.

Hope you enjoy.

I had a cheese 'n onion pie at the kids' CL match against the Dippers. Scrumptious, but I don't suppose whoever made it went to the trouble outlined above!
 
It is to me mate. But my parents owned a cafe, and on Sundays my mum would teach me too cook and bake from being young. She still swears blind that I made her egg n' toast with a cup of tea when I was 3. I was young, but I must of been older than that.

I would never of trusted either of my kids at that age with boiling water.

To make that i would have to get dressed, scrape the snow off the motor and go and find some fish. Then half an hours pissing around in the asda's cos they've moved all the stuff around and i can't find the soup. Then i'd have to find a non-spotty member of staff to tell me what broccoli looks like.
After wrestling with the self serve checkout machine and telling it 3 times 'I DON'T WANT A FUCKING BAG' Ii'd drive home, only to find the bag of spuds i know we have in the cupboard is actually a dirty bag with one mouldy, eye ridden ball of mush in it.
Back in the car to asda but rushing now and hit one of the many pot holes i usually avoid. I carry on determined and end up at the spud aisle only to find there's NO FUCKING BAGS. In desperation i stuff the loose spuds down my keks and walk out without paying, muttering summat about, 'Fuck em, bastards, simplefuckingrecipe twat.'
Once outside i'm feeling much better from the little shoplifting buzz i got. Jump in the car, bang a tune on and off i go, about ten yards. Fucking puncture. Lifting my now bruised head up off the steering wheel i spot the pub.
Simple.

Lol. Top quality post mate, I understand your frustration; )

PS

You don't need fish n' spuds to make egg n' toast mate, wrong quote.;)

you know what to do blue.

- Bag of arborio rice, maybe 1 and a half/2 cups if serving for two.
-Diced onion
-Handful of cut mushrooms
-A chorizo sausage, or ready cut cubes, up to the chef
-Grated parmesan.
-Bit of olive oil.
- 2 cubes of vegetable stock

1) dice the onion and gently fry off in the frying pan until they turn slightly transparent.

2) add the cut mushrooms and chorizo to the pan and fry them all together.

3) add in the cups of rice. You can't leave them dry for long as it begins to stick, but the oil from the chorizo provides brief moisture.

4) have your stock ready and add about quarter of it to the pan each time, continuing to stir. When the liquid looks like it has disappeared, add more, a quarter of the jug each time. Continuing to stir throughout is crucial because otherwise it all sticks to the pan.

5) add parmesan throughout if you wish, otherwise sprinkle on to serve.

6) do all of this until the rice becomes soft enough for your preference. Take off the hob and serve.
