Winter favourite's

[skyep]

What are your favourite cakes/puddings as the weather starts to get cold? I fancy making some parkin or gingerbread. Puddings - Blackberry & apple crumble & custard :0)

Treacle Sponge Pudding & Custard :o)

[skyep]

tonyted - If we're including savoury too - homemade soup, broccoli & stilton, yum!

[skyep]

Metz - Love sponge pudding & custard. Recently made a large batch of microwave sponge pudding mixture & divided it into individual ramekins, froze & ate one each night after tea :0)

skep - i've got a great recipe for microwaved sponge pudding, it always amazes me that it only takes 3 minutes rather than 2 hours of steaming!
Did you cook the sponges before you froze them? How long did they take to cook individually? How did you defrost them?

To contribute to your thread - home made pumpkin soup, casseroles and baked potatoes - done all afternoon in the oven and not the micro!

[crisgal]

woops, sorry skyep!

[skyep]

crisgal - No I did'nt cook them before freezing them. I microwaved them from frozen on the defrost setting for about 6 mins.

crisgal - slow cooker casseroles!! :0)

Bread and butter pudding. Made with panetone. Lush.
On the savoury front I'd have to say the chicken and butternut squash stew with dumplings I made on Monday. Or rabbit pie.

Has to be apple and blackberry crumble, served really hot with loads of vanilla ice cream... yyyuummm..xx

Prunes and custard

Any type of crumble

I read somewhere a chef used baileys in their bread & butter pudding, can't remember the quantity, anybody know? Or do you just pour :0)
