What can I bake with these ingredients other than boring fairy cakes?

[muminthecity]

I would like to do some baking with DD tomorrow but need some inspiration - I'm sick of fairy cakes! The ingredients I have are:

Flour (plain and SR)
Butter
Eggs
Sugar
Baking Powder
Chocolate Chips
Mixture of different nuts and dried fruit
Various spices (Cinnamon etc)

Would be extremely grateful for any suggestions.

I baked a moca cake this evening and now feel like a heffa lol how about some type of brownie or flap jack! Google all recipes they have great selection happy baking

Cookies?

tea loaf? you'll need to soak the dried fruit in strong tea overnight though...

Pancakes!

Thank you for the ideas. Cookies are a good idea, anyone got a good recipe?

Start the day with Scotch pancakes/drop scones mix 4oz sr flour, 2eggs, 1/4 pt milk 2 tables spoons of caster sugar. Drop a tablespoonfull onto hot frying pan with a bit of butter, flip over when the bubbles show.
Then do chocchip cookies or welsh cakes both very simple

Actually thats 1 egg for that mix of drop scones

This is the cookie recipe that I have been using recently....

125g soft butter
100g soft brown sugar
125g caster sugar
1 egg beaten
1 tsp vanilla
225g self raising flour
200g choc chips

Heat oven to 180. Cream butter and sugars together. Add egg, choc chips & vanilla. Sift in flour. Mix together.

Roll into walnut sized balls. Put on ungreased baking paper.

Cook for 10mins.

They will be soft when then come out of the oven and will need a few minutes to set before you can put on cooling racks.

have you got a couple of lemons too ?this pudding is devine

I know that strictly speaking they are cupcakes, but I wouldn't say they are boring! Have a look on my profile and see what you think!

Thank you for the cookie recipe, I will definitely give that a go. I don't really want to do pancakes, as pancake day is so soon I'd rather wait until then! No lemons unfortunately.

Maureen - They look amazing! Sadly way beyond my capability though
