When life's rubbish, make a roly poly!I

Jam Roly Poly | Serves 6

200g Self-Raising Flour
100g Suet
50g Caster Sugar
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Zest of a lemon
A pinch of salt
100ml Whole /Milk
100g (or more) Strawberry Jam

What to do:

Mix together all the ingredients except the jam.

The dough will be sticky, so dust plenty of flour on top of a layer of parchment paper and foil bigger than an A4 sized-paper (check video). Place the dough in the middle and dust with more flour. Place another layer of parchment paper on top of the dough and start rolling out the dough (check video for reference). Take the paper off once you've got the desired shape.

Spread a liberal layer of jam and roll into a log. Gather the parchment and foil around and seal.

Place a grill on top of a tray. Put the roly poly on t1he grill. Place in the oven and fill the tray with b 1'oiling water. Carefully push it into the oven to bake for 30-40mins at 180C /160C fan. Serve with custard.

🍚 ORGANIC FORBIDDEN BLACK RICE W/ FETA 🍚 Rice, but make it black & organic! 😍

.

Bringing you a different kind of feta dish with some yummy, nutritional organic black rice from @truericeofficial... because it's quite literally the best! So good I bought more of their organic black & red rice 😍🛒

.

Did you know the pigment in black rice, called anthocyanin, is rich in super antioxidant properties that helps fight off free radicals?! Super antioxidants that help fight off cellular damage, diseases and decelerates ageing. It has more protein than any other rice and has the lowest carb & calorie values too 🤯

.

If you're going to eat rice, go with this beautiful black rice. You're body will thank me later! And if you buy rice from @truerice, you'll be helping the farmers & rice mills who they buy directly from ❤

🍩 UBAEE PON de Ring DonUTs!!! 🍩
.
Happy Bank Holiday, England! If you've been watching my stories, you'll know I couldn't resist making these yesterday when I saw @pes.catarian.diet make these in her stories some time ago!
.
I asked if you wanted to see me try a bunch of different mochi donut recipes and I got a 100% Yes vote, with which I couldn't be more delighted about! 😁 So over the next couple of weeks or so, I'll be tweaking recipes and baking up these treats just for you, with the first being my very own recipe!
.
These are how I imagined them to be, but maybe slightly on the heavier side. Nonetheless, still good! It's fluffy, light with a slight chew on the inside. The chew for me was important and, as per @pes.catarian.diet's input, the outside is supposed to be crispy which, of course, these were since they were fried.
.
Ok, enough with the chat, here's my recipe! Watch my stories to see how I made these, and tell me down below how mochi donuts are supposed to be! Ta!
.
Makes 4 large ones or 6 small ones.
.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup glutinous rice flour
1 cup self raising flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarb of soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp caster sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 hot milk
1/4- 1/2 cup hot water
1 egg
.
Method:
•Mix dry ingredients together.
•Make a well in the centre. Add wet ingredients and mix.
• Form into a ball. Use more rice flour for dusting.
• Divide into 6 balls and then divide each one into 8 small balls.
• On a square bit of parchment paper, place 8 balls to form a circle. Mame sure they form a tight circle. The balls should stick to one another.
• Brush a little bit of water on top.
• Deep fry and drain when golden brown.
.
Ube Glaze:
1 1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp ube extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
.
Mix glaze ingredients, then drench your donuts in this good stuff! Do iiittt!! 🤤

SAVE this post for your toddler's next snack attack! FOLLOW for more easy family recipes.

🧆 Prawn & Veg Takoyaki | Makes approx. 32 pieces 🧆

INGREDIENTS

For The Batter:

200g plain flour
1 1/2 tsps baking powder
2 large eggs
400ml chicken/veg/miso stock
1 tbsp low salt light soy sauce
2-3 sprigs of spring onion, chopped
1 small oion, chopped
150g raw prawns, deveined & chopped
3 large savoy cabbage leaves shredded
1 small courgette, shredded
1 small carrot , shredded

Honey Soy Sauce:

2 tbsp low salt soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tsp sesame oil
1-2tsp honey

METHOD

Mix all batter ingredients together if cooking right away. If not, mix all the ingredients for the batter except the prawns. Add the prawns in on the day you are cooking it.

Heat up takoyaki pan with some olive oil to medium high heat. Pour takoyaki batter. Turn over every so often to brown nicely all around.

I bought my takoyaki pan from Amazon a couple of years ago, but if you don't have a takoyaki pan, just use an ordinary frying pan to make little flat fritters!

Keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days. Batter can be made ahead 2 days in advance without the prawns.

🎉 OOHBAEEE-BEEE CHEESECAKE with a nutty pecan crust for my 100th post! 🎉 Cheers, and cheers to the weekend, foodies! 🍾🥂
.
When I saw @fourhungryasians ube cheesecake post some time ago, I wanted to get my hands on one but knew buying one would be an impossible feat here in Scotland. So I made it instead and it was diviiinnneee 🤩
.
It'll take 15 mins max to get everything mixed & ready to go into the oven. Truuusst meee! 🙏
.
Let's get straight to it! Here's the recipe!
.
Pecan Crust
50g Pecans
50g Shredded coconut
200g Digestive Biscuits
90g Butter, melted

Ube Filling
3 x 200g full fat cream cream cheese, room temp
4 large eggs, room temp
225g caster sugar
150g ube halaya (Amazon)
1 tsp vanilla extract (Amazon)
1.5 tsps ube extract

Prep:
Preheat your oven to 200°C fan and boil lots of water in the kettle.

Wrap well the exterior of a tin with a removable bottom with tin foil.

For the crust:
Toast the pecans till they form a crispy skin. Then toast the coconut until light golden brown.

If you don't have a food processor, place the biscuits in a bag & use a rolling pin to crush them.

Place pecans, coconut & biscuits in a bowl & mix in the butter well. Pack this mixture in the bottom of the tin.

Wrap the tin well in tin foil to avoid getting water into it, as we'll be submerging this in some water while baking in the oven.

For the filling:
Beat the cream cheese till light. Mix in well the sugar, cornflour & ube halaya. Then add the eggs, one at a time. Finally add the extracts & a pinch of salt. Pour into the prepared tin.
You can decorate the filling with the ube extract by adding a few drops on the surface of the filling & using a toothpick to create swirls.

Cover with a tin foil & place in a tray, large enough to contain 2-3 inches of water. Place the tray in the oven, & pour 2-3 inches of water into the tray.

Turn the oven heat down to 160°C & bake for 50 mins to 1 hour. It's ready when there is still a slight jiggle in the centre & the sides have come away & are raised slightly. Once cooked, leave it in the oven to cool with the door ajar (use a wooden spoon to keep it open). When cooled, place in the fridge to chill for 8 hrs. taken in Glasgow, United Kingdom by @_scrumptious_eats_
