Ingredients (Makes 6 Muffins):

1 egg, beaten

40 g sugar (I used organic brown Rapandura sugar)

120 ml milk (I used rice milk)

50 g unsalted butter, melted

200g refined spelt flour (or 150g all purpose flour)

½ tablespoon baking powder

pinch of salt

½ t ground cinnamon

2 small organic apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped

For the topping:

sugar

ground cinnamon

Cook’s tip:  Do not over mix the muffin mixture - it should be lumpy.

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
2. Line six medium sized muffin tins with paper cases.
3. Mix the egg, sugar, milk and melted butter in a large bowl.
4. Sift in the spelt/flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
5. Add the chopped apple and mix roughly.
6. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cases.
7. To make the topping, mix sugar with the cinnamon.  Sprinkle over the uncooked muffins.
8. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, until well risen and golden brown.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
9. Serve immediately

10-12 Chicken Drum Sticks

2 Carrots peeled and cut into 1" sections

1 Onion quartered through the stem end

Bouquet Garni (Bundle of herbs tied up with a piece of kitchen string)

Preheat the oven to 220Deg C

Spread the drum sticks in a heavy roasting pan just large enough to hold them in a single layer and sprincle the carrot and onion on top

Roast for about 45 Minutes, or until the drum sticks are well browned, and have released all their juices, and the juices have caramelized on the bottom of the pan.

Transfer the drum sticks to a pot and put the roasting pan on the stove top over high heat.

Pour about 2 cups water into the roasting pan, bring to a boil and deglaze the pan.

Scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour the liquid over the drum sticks in the pot.

Add cold water to the pot to cover the drum sticks by about 50mm and nestle Bouquet Garni in the centre. Bring to a gentle simmer, starting at a high heat and reducing the heat to low once a simmer is reached.

Move the pot slightly off centre of the burner/stove plate and adjust the heat so the liquid bubbles gently on one side. 

Simmer gently (uncovered) for 3 hours, adding water as needed to keep the drum sticks covered.

Remove from the heat, lift out and store away the drum sticks, and strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a storage container.

Can be stored in a tightly covered container in the refrigirator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 year.

Ingredients

500ml (2 cups) Oats

125ml (½ cup) Linseeds

125ml (½ cup) Sesame seeds

250ml (1 cup) Oat flour

250ml (1 cup) Chopped dates or raisins

280ml (1 cup & 2 tbsp) Honey

Pinch of salt

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C. Grease baking tin. Mix the sesame seeds, linseeds and oats together. Sift the flour and salt into the oats mixture. Add the chopped dates/raisins. Blend the honey into the oats mixture. Press evenly into the baking tin with your fingers. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Cut while still warm. Allow to cool in the oven while the oven is turned off (this allows the crunchies to harden). Store in an airtight container once cooled.

Optional: If you would like to have carob crunchies, you would need to buy carob chunks.

Melt two to three blocks of the carob chunks in a double boiler. Pour over crunchies once they have cooled and then place the crunchies in the fridge for the carob to harden
