Mrs Nod has baked a batch of muffin sized Belgian cakes (mincemeat) from a Cranks recipe. Wonder how many I could scarf down before she realises what I'm up to...
And today, MR Nod made a batch just to see how easy they are. Turns out they're pretty damn easy!
Method:-
Cream together butter and sugar.
Slowly add eggs.
Fold in flour.
Fold in mincemeat and liquid.
Quantities:-
Butter (or, if you hate yourself enough...
m@r93r!n3) 4oz/100g
Raw brown sugar 3oz/75g
Free range eggs (beaten) 2, medium
Wholemeal SR flour 5oz/150g
Mincemeat (book says "raw sugar mincemeat but we use whatever's in the cupboard!) 8oz/225g
Liquid (book says "water" but we use Amaretto or Rakomeli...

) 1tbsp/15ml
Makes either an 8" square shallow cake or about 9 decent sized muffins.
170°C/325°F/GM3 for about 30 minutes (cake), 25 minutes (muffins) - until well risen and golden. Cool in the tin/cases.
