Brown Betty




Well as promised in the last post, I have finally got round to making Brown Betty and taking a photo of it.

I have no idea where the recipe came from its not attributed to anyone in Mum's recipe book, Its very easy to make and I ice it with peppermint icing with coconut on the top. The original recipe says 1/2 cup of milk, I find it works much better with 3/4 cup milk.




BROWN BETTY

In a pot melt

4 oz Butter

4oz Sugar

3/4 cup milk

1 Tablespoon Cocoa

When cool add

1 cup sultanas

1 cup Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Put into a lines sponge roll/slice tin ans bake at 350 F or 175 C for 12-15 minutes

When cool ice with chocolate/peppermint icing and sprinkle with coconut.......very quick and easy.


One thing I should point out is that I have very creative spelling, so if something is a bit weird ask me to clarify (or correct it) if you cant make it out.

I think I'm having trouble getting the pictures within the text where I want them but I guess I'll work it out in time!!

Gotta love those old fashioned baking recipes. Unfortunately now I'm now signing "Oh Black Betty Bam A Lam" in my head.
