Simple recipes: krispie buns

You know they’re ker-azy because they’re spelled with a Z.

This is another adaptation of my mum’s recipes from when she was at school (for her easy peasy buns/cake recipe, click here).  The adapted bit’s where I lick the golden syrup spoon.  These take about 5 minutes to make.  Less if you set everything out on the counter like in Jamie Oliver’s 30 minute recipes.  In that case, this would take about 3 minutes.

krispie buns

Ingredients

  • 2 level tbsp sugar
  • 2 heaped tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp golden syrup
  • 100g margarine
  • 100g cornflakes or rice krispies

Method

Melt everything except the cereal in a pan, don’t let it boil.  Take off the heat and mix in the cereal well.  Use spoons to share the mixture between around 12 bun cases, pretty ones if possible.  Lick spoons.  Lick pan.

Here’s some I made for the NCT crew this weekend.  Nom.

Easter weekend

Hope everyone’s stuffed themselves silly over the Easter weekend, I know we have!

Not much DIY done this weekend, only a bit of painting.

We had one of Barry’s brothers and his girlfriend over on Friday, and Barry cooked a lovely meal.  On Saturday I baked (evidence on the right).  No evidence is left at our house, as my mum came over on Sunday with her friend. Yesterday we had a Sunday dinner and my friend Louise came over and we finally met her boyfriend.  Phew!

Somewhere in the middle there, we went to Ikea, only to find, shock horror, it’s actually closed on Easter Sunday!  We consoled ourselves with TGI Fridays and went home.
