Seconds. Minutes. Hours. Days...time … suddenly I feel I have a lot of it more then I need. It lingers in my room like a helpless child who wants to run outside. I read a book, I drew a picture, I fixed the room, and nothing seems to fill it, it stretches and asks, begs and demands “ MORE”.
Clocks get louder and annoyingly intrusive. You need: a loud song, a concert or a chatty friend someone or a thing that has the power to silence them ... whatever soothe you, what’s your remedy?
Sometimes it works but when it doesn’t … I cook or bake … and for some reason time gets devoured.
Bread, salad and cookies.
Here’s some nice time filling recipes for you to try and enjoy.
They call them jumbles. Those cookies are so easy to make plus you can pick and mix the flavoring you like.
I used some fresh berries that I had bought earlier.
The result looked great and tasted so good.
Ingredients
125g unsalted butter
100g caster sugar
50g light muscovado sugar
1 medium free-range egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
175g plain flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
For the flavorings: whatever you like I used 100g berries and 100g of chopped chocolate.
But you can also use nuts., dried fruits, etc
Preheat the oven 190C/375F/gas 5.
Melt the butter in a big pan.
Take the pan off the heat, add both sugars.
Beat the egg with the vanilla until combined, add to the mix.
Sift the flour and the baking powder together into the mix and stir.
When it is very well combined, add your flavorings.
With a tablespoon scoop the mix on the prepared trays making sure to keep enough space to allow spreading.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a light golden color shows and the biscuits just firmed.
Leave to cool for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container.
