Sausage and Mash Pie<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Ingredients <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

75g butter<\/p>\n

6 pork sausages, roughly chopped<\/p>\n

2 leeks, sliced<\/p>\n

2 carrots, roughly chopped<\/p>\n

2 celery sticks, roughly chopped<\/p>\n

3 tbsp. onion gravy granules<\/p>\n

200g frozen peas<\/p>\n

500g floury potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped<\/p>\n

2 tbsp. wholegrain mustard<\/p>\n

Method<\/em>:- <\/strong>Preheat oven to 200\u00b0C (180\u00b0C fan) Mark 6. Melt 25g butter in a medium casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add the sausage pieces, leeks, carrots and celery and cook for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are golden. Stir in the gravy granules, 300ml water and plenty of seasoning. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2mins, stirring until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the peas. Make the mash. Put the potatoes into a large pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over high heat and simmer for 10-15 mins, or until tender. Drain, reserving a cupful of the starchy cooking water. Leave the potatoes to steam dry for 5 mins. Return potatoes to the empty pan and mash. Mix in the remaining butter, season and a small splash of the reserved cooking water (add more if mash is dry). Stir in the mustard. Top the sausage mixture with the mash. Cook in the oven for 25mins, or until golden and bubbling.<\/p>\n

Moist Ginger Cake<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Ingredients<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

350g golden syrup<\/p>\n

125g block butter<\/p>\n

250g plain flour, sifted<\/p>\n

\u00bd level teaspoon salt<\/p>\n

1 \u00be level teaspoons bicarbonate of soda<\/p>\n

1 level teaspoon ground ginger<\/p>\n

\u00bd level teaspoon mixed spice<\/p>\n

1 large egg<\/p>\n

275ml milk\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Method:<\/em><\/strong> – <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Pre – heat the oven to 180\u00b0C (160\u00b0C fan) \u00a0gas mark 4. Weigh a saucepan on the scales and \u00a0weigh the syrup into it. Then add the butter to the \u00a0saucepan and melt the two together over a gentle \u00a0heat. Measure the dry ingredients into a bowl, then \u00a0gradually pour in the syrup mixture, mix well. Beat \u00a0the egg and milk together in a separate basin then \u00a0add that bit by bit, again mixing thoroughly. The \u00a0cake batter will seem very liquid at this stage but \u00a0that \u2019 s OK so don \u2019 t worry, just pour it into the \u00a0prepared oblong tin, well buttered and with a liner. \u00a0Bake near the centre of the oven for about 45 – 50 \u00a0minutes or until the centre is springy. Cool in the tin \u00a0for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire tray to \u00a0cool. When it \u2019 s cold, cut it into squares .<\/p>\n
