Sweets / Desserts

I call this "The Easy As Sweet" simply because it is
Easy As Sweet ( 3 ingredients)

1 Packet Gingernut biscuits
1 small tin crushed Pineapple
1 cup whipped Cream.

Place into a serving dish, layer of gingernuts, then pineapple, then cream.
Repeat layers until you have used up your ingredients
Chill and Serve

Golden Syrup Dumplings
Cheap and easy especially on a cold day

Ingredients
Dumplings
1 cup self raising flour
pinch of salt
20g butter
1 egg
Method
Sift self raising flour with a pinch of salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter then add the whisked egg and stir to combine and then add the milk slowly till the dough resembles a scone mix. Set aside and make the sauce.
Combine all sauce ingredients into a large frypan with a fitted lid. Bring to the boil to almalgamate and turn down to a simmer.
Meanwhile flour your hands and roll the dough into the size of a 20 cent piece.
Cover a dish with baking paper to put all the dough balls on. Then slip the balls off the baking paper all together into the syrup. Cover with the lid and cook for about 10 minutes, turn over to cook on the other side for another 10 minutes.
Sauce
1 1/2 Cups of golden syrup
1/2 Cup of water
60g butter
Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with the sauce and a jug of runny cream


Lemon Delicious Pudding
I baked this often when I cooked in Aged Care,always a winner

This recipe will feed 4-6

60g butter
grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs, separated
4 tablespoons self-raising flour, sifted
1 1/4 cups milk
Method
Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Using an electric mixer, cream the butter with the lemon rind and sugar. When it is creamy and light, beat in the egg yolks. Stir in the sifted floured alternately with the milk.

Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the mixture with the lemon juice, lightly yet thoroughly. Pour into a buttered casserole or pie dish and bake for about 45 minutes.
