1 cup of SR flour

Coat the potatoes and meat with the batter.

Beat the butter and sugar to cream and add eggs, beat well. Add flour to make a dough. Form into round balls. Press a thumb print into each, fill this indent with jam. Bake in a quick oven (abt 15 mins on 180).

600g canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 garlic cloves, crushed or minced garlic to taste
100ml olive oil
Juice of a lemon
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tbs tahini

Put in Blender. Blend. Add 1/8 cup (or just a tiny drizzle at a time) of water and blend until quite smooth.

Great for snacks with chopped celery or carrots, or bikkies or toasted turkish bread. Great on toast too, or on sandwiches.

If you like dates or dried apricots u can make rolls. My DS loves date rolls.

Simply process a packet of dried pitted dates then form into small logs and cover with coconut. Same with the dried apricots.

pinwheel are good..........puff pastry roll out then a little tomato paste sprinkle of cheese and some ham ( some have used vegimite and cheese, nutella, mashed potato and garlic/cheese) roll it up into a roll cut and bake for a couple of min and then you have mini sausage roll thingys for atea, scones are also good or old fashioned pikelets (and i freeze pikelets for school lunches)muffins savoury or sweet

if you go about to page 5 there is a muffin recipe that is under a thread from seekrit (muesli bars?? i think it is called)
