After working at a school with many staff from the NZ and OZ, I’ve had my eyes opened to all number of yummy treats. One of my favourites is Afghan biscuits, they’re tasty chocolate and cornflake treats, generally topped with chocolate icing and walnut pieces, I believe they are a real Kiwi treat.
This is my recipe, so I hope you like it?
225g Flour
75g Castor Sugar
200g Butter
25g Coco or Chocolate Melted
50g Cornflakes
All you need to do is soften the butter and add the sugar, flour and coco. Mix well and add the cornflakes.
Place them in rough blobs on a tray and bake for 10/15mins at 180c or Gas Mark 4. I like to take them out while they are still sticky in the centre.
Top them with icing or frosting of your choice, and enjoy.
My second recipe is Filo Parcels filled with mushroom, red onion, tomato and ricotta;
Easy to make, you layer you filo alternate ways in a baking tray or cake papers, then brush the edges with a little oil. Next fry the onion, mushroom, and add salt & pepper, before mixing the tomatoes in and removing from the heat. Mix all with ricotta cheese and add the the centre of each case and cook for 30 minutes of Gas mark 4. It is important to keep checking the pastry!!!
