Recipe Review

I got to spend most of the day at home today which only means one thing.....cooking!!

I tested out the Coconut Butter Cake, Hot Cross Buns and the Aussie Meat Pie all from the EDC.

Coconut Butter Cake

I am not much of a cake fan (unless my friend Andrea bakes them) Anyway I was visiting my sis in law today and decided we needed cake to go with the tea. I had planned on making a sponge roll but to my horror I had run out of vanilla! So a quick flick through the book to find a vanilla-less cake led me to give this one a go. As I said I am not much of a cake fan, this one probably would have been better with icing, and if I ever bake it again I will cook it in 2 tins rather than one as I had to extend the cooking time, but it burnt around the edges...

Hot minus the Cross Buns

Make them. All. The. Time. They were awesome. ( I never put crosses on them BTW, I have better things to do!) 

Aussie Meat Pie

Golly, I love being able to make my own puff pastry...! 

Recipe was great except I would reduce the Vegemite to 1 tsp rather than 1 tbls....or we will have to rename it Vegemite Pie!!! I also chose to make one large pie (much quicker!) rather than in the muffin tins as per the recipe.

The winner today is definitely the Hot Cross Buns! mmm Yum!
