What can I bake fairly quickly with my 4yo, with no eggs in the house?

[YunoYurbubson]

I would do crispie cakes but no chocolate either.

Got most other things.

Biscuits.

Choc chip, cornflake, fruit..the list is endless.

Flapjack

Have you got ready made puff pastry? Cut into squares and make up toppings?

Don't biscuit recipes usually have egg?

Oat biscuits -
2oz caster sugar,
4oz soft marg/butter,
4oz oats,
2oz plain flour

Heat oven to 160C. Cream the butter and sugar, add the oats and flour and work them in to the mixture. Lightly knead until smooth and roll to a thickness of 1/2 inch and cut into rounds.

Bake for 20mins.

My dd loves making these and occasionally even eats one!

Rice crispy cakes?

Cheese straws?

Vegan banana cake?

Thanks all. We have made a bizarre concoction of cuboard foragings which I have stuck together with butter and syrup and I hope will set in the fridge.

Oats and Dora The Explorer cereal and coconut and dried fruit and fairy sprinkles.

Hmm.

Scones

Yes. Scones.

Now, about scones.

I have an exciting new recipe book which has lots of scone recipes in. All the recipes call for one or two TABLESPOONS of baking powder. I don't think it is a misprint.

That's not normal, is it.

The first batch I made tasted of baking powder funnily enough.

Yuno, surely it should be TEAspoons, I have never known a scone recipe to have that much BP in it. yuk.

According to this, 4 teaspoons per 8 oz plain flour for scones.

Yes. Tsp not tbsp. Urgh. They must have tasted very strongly of baking powder.

I started a thread years ago about scones and was given loads of great tips. It is all about the raising agent, so bung in some cream of tartar too. I can post the recipe I use if you would like it
