Honey Bubble

My nana taught me to bake. She cooked for 5 children and my pop in the tiniest kitchen you could imagine. There was just one work counter - a space not much bigger than your average computer desk. Today I have a huge kitchen, heaps of storage, heaps of counter space.... and I use a space not much bigger than..., well you get the idea. My younger sister and I would spend Saturday's with nana. We would bake all the cakes and cookies for the next week. This recipe was a favourite in our family.

My mum wrote the recipe out for me

Honey Bubble

125g butter
125g sugar
2 dessertspoons honey
4 cups rice bubbles (make sure you get the gluten-free kind)

Put the butter, sugar and honey into a saucepan.
Bring to the boil and boil for 4 minutes.
Stir in rice bubbles.
Put mixture into a well-greased sponge roll tin - smooth the top (press firmly)
Cut before it is quite cold - it sets quickly and becomes brittle.

Sweet as!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday. I asked him what could I get him - he asked for these biscuits... and another jar of zucchini honey :-) In NZ 'today' is Tuesday Feb 1st. The blog posts in American time...




AMARETTI BISCUITS

3 cups ground almonds
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 egg whites
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Pre-heat the oven to 150c. Line a tray with baking paper.
Mix all the ingredients together
Roll small amounts into balls and place on the tray. These biscuits don't spread when they cook, so you can put them quite close together.
Bake 20 - 30 minutes. The longer you bake them, the crunchier they become. Dad likes them to be a bit chewy in the centre.
