It's been too long

So, weekly blogs stopped for a while, more on that story later! I'll be honest, they're not going to start up again, although I will eventually get round to writing up that piece for TSR (you should go there now, my good friend Sep is now Editor in Chief and he wants you to write for him).

This however shall remain mostly a food blog, there might be some sidelines here and there, but hopefully this will mostly be food and eating. So, after over a year can I get a drum roll? No! A swiss roll? No! Am I going to make a pun involving the word roll? No!

So here it is, it's:

3 minute microwave edible chocolate brownie disks which are best served with cream!

So I found this idea on the internet. I don't know where I found it, I think I googled mug brownies. Anyway this is my own take on a fairly popular concept.

Equipment
- Mug
- Measuring thing (desert spoon or larger will do, you're over thinking this if you're using scales or a measuring jug)
- Microwave

Ingrediants
- Flour - 3 measured units
- Castor sugar - 3 measured units
- Cocoa powder - 1.5 (or 2) measured units
- Hot chocolate mix (perhaps) - 0.5 (or 0) measured units
- Tasteless oil (such as sunflower) - 1.5 units
- Water - ~2 units

Methud

Take your dry ingredients (only the ones listed above mind, not all the dry ingredients you have) and mix them in a bowl.
Realise that making this in a bowl is difficult and transfer the half mixed mixture to a mug
Continue mixing, once suitably uniform make a little dimple in the middle of the powder and pour in oil and water.
Mix until there are no lumps, it should come together in a lump that holds its shape without leaving dry residue on the mug.
Transfer to a bowl (optional)
Put it in the microwave and heat it for about a minute. Our microwave is crap so it takes more like 1m40s but the least I've done it in is a minute. You'll learn what's best by experimenting.
Serve with double cream and a spoon



Next time I'll explain how to make honeycomb using mostly sugar and a pan!

Until then, keep dancing enjoying food!
