RECIPES
AFTERNOON TEA RING
1 cup (250 ml) self-raising flour
1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
pinch salt
1/4 cup (50 ml) butter or margarine
1/4 cup (50 ml) sugar
1/3 cup (75 ml) mixed dried fruit
1 sm/med egg
1/4 cup (50 ml) cold skim milk
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Mix in the butter. Add
the sugar and fruit and toss the ingredients lightly together. Beat the
egg lightly then mix in cold milk. Add to the flour mixture, mixing quickly
to form a soft dough. Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead
lightly until smooth. Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized pieces and
shape each one into a circle. Stand in an overlapping ring in the Czech
Cooker™ and brush with a little beaten egg. Turn on Czech Cooker™
on setting 4 and bake for 30 minutes.
TIP As soon as the liquid is added to the baking powder, the raising
agent begins to work. Work quickly to avoid the gases escaping from
the raising agent and making the ring flat and heavy.
