Trusa, Christine, Stuart and Cynthia ask... I am looking for retired dinner ladies who can give the recipes for chocolate concrete? Lynn replies... To make 6 portions:- 12oz Plain Flour, 7oz of margarine or butter, 3oz granulated sugar and 4 heaped table spoons of cocoa powder. Method:- Mix ALL ingredients together until they look like dough and leave the bowl clean. Place in a baking tray and press down, until approx half and inch thick, press down firmly. Bake on Gas 3-4 for approx 30 minutes, or until centre is firm to touch. Cut into six portion before allowing to cool slightly. Serve with thick custard or even mint custard (you can cheat with making mint custard by just adding peppermint essence to your normal custard!) ------ Sonya Thrush replies... I have the recipe for Chocolate Concrete... 510g margarine 510g sugar 680g plain flour 55g cocoa 20g baking powder 1 egg (size 4) pinch of salt Mix all dry ingredients together. Rub in margarine. Beat the egg and add to the mixture (for best results mix entirely in a food mixer or processor). Knead lightly until mixture blends together. Press into well-greased shallow tins. Bake gently for 25 - 30 minutes Gas mark 4. Do not overbake. Put a lid on the tin and keep hot otherwise crunch will set hard - like concrete! |
