Morsey's Double Choc Chip Muffins

We just made these muffins today and they went down very well with a wee cup of tea.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups of self raising flour
1/2 cup of white sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 egg
A wee bit more than 1/2 cup of milk
1/4 cup of vegetable oil or olive oil
250 grams of chocolate chips
2 heaped tablespoons of cocoa

Heat over to 200 deg C.
Sift all dry ingredients together and mix in a large bowl.
Add wet ingredients (egg, milk and oil) and mix well.
Use tablespoon and fill mixture into paper cups at 3/4 mark. (It is best to put the mixture into paper baking cups, which are placed in a muffin tray.)
Bake for approx 20 minutes (check often to see whether they are burning or not and probe a tooth pick into them to see if the muffin mixture sticks. If it does not stick, then they are cooked.)
Leave to cool for at least 5 minutes and then stuff them in your gob, but not all at once as this recipe makes 10 big muffins.

A Wee Bit Of Country Potato Salad

I got this potato salad recipe from a friend whilst living in America. I have found this to be the best potato salad that I have ever tried. I hope that you enjoy it too.

Ingredients
6 medium potatoes
2 eggs
About 2/3 cup of mayonnaise
Half an onion
Half a capsicum (red pepper)
1 Teaspoon of English Mustard
Some paprika
Salt and Pepper (sprinkle to taste)

Cube the potatoes (about 3cm diameter) and peel them if you want to. Salt the potatoes and boil them for 10 minutes (they need to have some firmness to them). Put the potatoes in a colander and leave them sitting for about 10 minutes. Boil the eggs for about 3 minutes. In a bowl, put mayonnaise, mustard, finely chopped onion, cubed capsicum, salt and pepper. Peel the eggs and mash them up into the mixture. Add potatoes when they are cool and mix them in softly. Add some paprika on top. All done. Serve up now or put into your fridge for later on.

Matchsticks

I got this recipe from a friend, and I must say that they are really yummy. The recipe below makes 16 matchsticks. You can adjust the ingredients to make more or less. It is possible to freeze them.

You need
2 sheets of ready rolled puff pastry.
Either whipped cream or really thick cream (about 250 grams).
1 Jar of cottees strawberry conserve (best to get ones without seeds in it).
A wee bit of icing sugar.

Thaw out pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 long strips. Cut those 8 sheets in half (so you should have 16 sheets all up).

Place those sheets onto a greased tray and cook in oven (200 deg C) until golden brown (about 8 minutes).

Remove sheets from oven and leave them to cool completely. The sheets should have risen and therefore they are thicker. Make them thinner by cutting them in half (this creates matching pairs).

Using a spoon, spread some jam across the base of each pair and then put some cream on top of the jam. Put the matching top on the base and sprinkle some icing sugar on top of them all after all are finished.

Eat them with your family and friends. Yum Yum.
