Milli 08
This is the recipe for my wicked matchsticks above.
The only difference is that I do not ice mine, see recipe 1, instead I sift icing sugar over them before serving. Delicious when served straight from the refrigerator.
Matchsticks
Recipe 1
Icing sugar, jam, 1 sheet puff pastry, cream
Cut puff pastry sheet into three strips & then cut the three strips in half.
Bake pastry in a pre-heated oven 180C for 10 mins or until lightly brown. Let pastry cool.
Spread Jam & Cream on pastry & top this with another piece of pastry.
Sift icing sugar on top.
Recipe 2
(Matchsticks with pink and white icing)
2 sheets puff pastry, 3/4 cup strawberry jam, 300ml carton thickened cream
2 tablespoons icing sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
For the pink icing:
2 cups icing sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, pink food colouring2 sheets puff pastry, 3/4 cup strawberry jam, 300ml carton thickened cream
2 tablespoons icing sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
For the pink icing:
For the white icing:
1/2 cup icing sugar, 3 teaspoons lemon juice
Place pastry on lightly greased oven trays, prick with a fork. Bake in a moderately hot oven for 15 mins, or until pastry is golden and crisp. Let cool.
Spread jam evenly over flat side of one of the sheets of pastry.
Beat cream until soft peaks form. Stir in sifted icing sugar and essence; mix well. Spread cream over jam.
Spread pink icing over flat side of remaining pastry sheet. Spoon white icing into a small piping bag. Pipe lines of white icing across 23cm width of pink icing at 4cm intervals. Draw a skewer along 30cm length of pink icing, at 4cm intervals in alternate directions to give a "feathered" effect. Place iced pastry on top of cream-covered pastry. Let stand for 15 mins, or until icing is set. Cut into 12 slices.
For the pink icing:
Combine sifted icing sugar, milk and juice in bowl, mix well, tint with colouring.
For the white icing:
Combine sifted icing sugar and juice in a bowl; mix well.
hahahahaaaaaa love it Milli. I never seem to make enough matchsticks to satisfy my grandkids.................
ReplyDeleteCan I have a cuppa with my matchsticks?? We haven't had that in a while.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'm obviously not Australian!
ReplyDeleteAs for those matchsticks, can I have them with a salad? ROFL
are Matchsticks good for brekkie?
ReplyDeleteLOL they go like hot cakes here only of course they are cold match stick's LOL Thanks Chezz.
ReplyDeleteGosh Rita I miss our Lamingtons and our Lemon Pie, Chit Chat Cuppas..Lets do it?
ReplyDeleteLOL Mia of course you can have them with salad..I will substitute the jam with cranberry sauce and the cream with tofu and wow you can have salad too...LOL
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny Mia.
Seth welcome Match Sticks are good for anytime...here help yourself you are welcome anytime..Will that be a banana smoothie with the match sticks?
ReplyDeleteWell Milli, you did say I was too heavy for my broom hehe, but no tofu iiiik lol I'll have spray cream straight down the hatch instead ha ha!
ReplyDeleteThat a girl..We got powerful Zoom Brooms these days..you will be just fine and which jam will that be?
ReplyDeleteLOL..You can eat your salad as a side dish!
Real soon I promise I am almost back up to speed here.
ReplyDeleteGreat Rita just yell I will put the kettle on!!!
ReplyDeletemake it banana/strawberry and it's deal...
ReplyDeleteYouse all better behave - Milli's servin matchsticks. I'm covering my thong in deference to the others. Mama didn't raise no heathen.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the welcome...
ReplyDeleteI'm an Aussie fan...every Aussie I've ever met was incredibly friendly
As a matter of fact I dated a Melbourne lass for 2 years....
Yum you will have to beat me to that one Seth.
ReplyDeleteLOL@Cris. Now how do you want your Match served up Cris? BTW if you have covered your thong right now you are standing on one foot LOL.
ReplyDeleteAh thats so nice of you Seth I think we are pretty friendly lot..Well most of us are. And so your Squeeze was from Melbin Right ..Good oh... thets a noice place... I loik it ther'
ReplyDeletethat you are....
ReplyDeleteI learned a great deal of Aussie slang during that time too...not a lot but some
You lived here?
ReplyDeleteno.... it was a long distance relationship....we spoke every night and saw each other about 10 times in those 2 years....
ReplyDeleteeventually distance, and tightening of immigration laws as a ripple effect due to the events of 911 took it's toll...
I didn't understand more than 1/2 of that! Girt?, stubbies? And do you mean to say it's okay to make a bong out of your hose but not to water with it? Cool! Stuff up? LOL! I'm at a loss. I guess the most I know about Aussies is that they run around topless on all the beaches and most anyplace else! Yes or no? If no, my boys will be greatly saddened to hear it.
ReplyDeleteOk Cheri seeing as you asked here are some explanations...
ReplyDeleteIn the national anthem it is written" Girt by sea"... We don't always know all the words ..But everyone in Australia knows one line from the national anthem: “our land is girt by sea”.
What does that mean?
Taken from a net post here because I liked the explanation.
In fact, “girt” is not a word that gets much of a workout in our everyday speech. It's the past tense and past participle of “gird”, as in “gird your loins”. I'm really not very sure how one goes about girding one's loins, but it may have something to do with wrapping a lamb chop in foil before you cook it.
Now, it's true that Schleswig-Holstein is really only semi-girt by sea, because it's also girt by Denmark and northern Germany. But there are plenty of places besides Australia that are girt by sea.
Britain is girt by sea. Ireland is girt by sea. Sri Lanka and Japan and New Zealand are all as girt as you can get, but you don't see their people singing “Mumble mumble mumble Our land is girt by sea”.
Stubbies are shortish shorts..real sexy for the plumbers crack set.
Watering your garden is illegal in many places at certain times and I guess it gives another use for the hose. I leave my hose intact LOL. You never know we might get more rain so that we use it more often. Water restrictions apply bigtime most of the time.
Not topless as such however there is usually ample hanging out in the warmer months, at beaches and too many other places to mention.
Stuff up means exactly that..every thing stuffed up and nothing is working....
Your Boys would ENJOY!!!LOL.
ya no mate..... i'll ave summa them matchies wif me cuppa ......
ReplyDeleteanddidyabringabeerwifya?
As for that bloke datin that Melbin sheila....lucky bloody sod he is.....orta make hinm pay a slab for that privilge......
As for waterin the garden mate, I do that, by recyclin me beer...I drink me stubby, and piss on me lawn...thats good recyclin, innit?
oh shit mate...the roo steaks and the f**kin prawns got scorched a bit on the ol barby...think thety'll notice, or ya reckon they too far under the table??
ReplyDelete* 43. You hop out of bed in the morning. *
ReplyDelete:D
PS
ReplyDelete" The term ' girt ' in Somerset, UK means ' great ' - as in : ' she liked her girt big fellah two days a week ' This may mean, in the context of the tune discussed here, that ' Australia is GREAT by the sea ' In other words Upsidedownland rivals the ocean in its vastness. However, it is tempting to regard this somewhat earthy word as an Anglo-Saxon root for one of our modern terms for enclosed space, namely : ' girdled ' .
Just a thought .

Now for a Kiwi you have us sorta down pat Ifiik...seth was dating a Melbin lady....WAS....you have family in Melbourne Ifii so you know they are good folks.
ReplyDeleteAs for the recycled beer well you must drink an awful lot and to be a little bit knowledgeable here the lawn dies and goes brown when you pee on it..Maybe you have tougher grass up there in the semi tropics?
In saying this, lemon trees love a wee bit of the urine, butt! they don't like it any where but under the tree and into the soul so there is a garden hint for you....You do have some interesting recycling habits LOL but I kind of wonder whats innit!! LOL You are such a nut you know Iffy!
Yes Pla we start the day on the hop so to speak...
ReplyDeleteGreat I like this explanation better so GREAT it is!
ReplyDeleteOk the answer is 180.00° Celsius = 356.00° Fahrenheit That's a fairly warm oven and pastry likes a hot oven usually.
ReplyDeleteThanks Reba, and I hope that you like them. Jam is probably like a jelly there.
And just to top it all in your upside down place--
ReplyDeleteYour bloody comment is bleedin inta mine
Too late and now it ain't
Thanks Keith and they are too simple the hardest part is whipping the cream..Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteNow the truth is out you see ifii is actually a Kiwi Bill. Don't worry I am multicultural and give everyone a chance some people got away with maybe a few too many chances...Bill also just to let you know we have larrikens down here too and I know up there that you do too!!! The Aussie way is meant to be fun! Not really how we all live of course however we can take the mickey out of our selves well and that is something that can be quite humorous at times..I think it gets many here through some pretty hard times actually.
ReplyDeleteLOl you guys stick together thats ok with me..May I add more jam and cream..Good for bonding oops I meant binding! LOLLL
ReplyDeleteGIRT 2
ReplyDeleteOn reflection it might be that the Somerset, UK expression ' girt ' refers to ' all around ' ( as in girdle ) THUS ' girt big ' would transpose as ' all around big ' As distance between old forms of language use and new usage increased the original idea was lost and the word ' great ' for ' girt ' ( a slack analysis of phonetic similarity ) instituted a semi-skimmed hybrid vis-à-vis faulty street linguistics - a bit like swearing inappropriately.
-plat0
=)
Thanks Pla it is a doozy of a word but when we place it in as seagirt we get this meaning..
ReplyDeleteMeaning #1: surrounded or enclosed by the sea.
I think that actually fits. The scots man who wrote it probably had his own way of placing the original words into the verse so as to give it the rhyming that would be needed. My opinion only.
ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
Peter Dodds McCormick, a Scot, composed ‘Advance Australia Fair’ under the pen-name ‘Amicus’ (amicus is the Latin word for ‘friend’). It was first performed in Sydney on Saint Andrew’s Day, 1878. An amended version was also sung by a choir of 10,000 at the inauguration of the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January, 1901. In 1907, the Australian Government awarded McCormick £100 for his composition. Peter McCormick died in 1916 and ‘Advance Australia Fair’ became free of copyright in 1966. The Commonwealth of Australia, however, does copyright the officially proclaimed lyrics and particular arrangements of music. Non-commercial public use of the anthem is permitted, but commercial use requires permission.
Some of the original words of the song have been changed for the official version. ‘Australia’s sons let us rejoice’ was the original first line; this has been replaced with ‘Australians all let us rejoice’. In the third verse of the original song, two lines were changed—‘To make our youthful Commonwealth’ became ‘To make this Commonwealth of ours’, and ‘For loyal sons beyond the seas’ became ‘For those who’ve come across the seas’.
Peter McCormick died in 1916 ----

ReplyDeleteI have not eaten rabbit for ages Reba although we have had small pig on a spit and it was very nice.
ReplyDeleteauntie married a cheerokee,,,,,than man could fry up a good rabbit
ReplyDeletevenison here is expensive because it is farmed not hunted. I have had it though because we buy it at the local farmers market.pretty tasty actually. Now have you eaten Kangaroo meat?
ReplyDeleteroo? no but id try it.....we have too many deer here..free for the hunting in the fall
ReplyDeletehave had gator tail
ReplyDeleteWhen we cook rabbit here it is usually Casseroled or baked or stewed I have never eaten it fried.
ReplyDeleteits good, but does NOT tase like chicken..LOL.I like to brase them.
ReplyDeletenow they are a delicacy in the market

Never really wanted to eat gator personally although you can get it here along with other tasty morsels like witchetty grubs not that I have eaten them.
ReplyDeleteSee the link here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchetty_grub
Ah well now I understand.....deep south...
ReplyDeletenow i would have to be hungry......LOL what do they taste like?
ReplyDeletei am 15 miles south of Atlanta Ga, Iin Jonesboro
ReplyDeletedeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep south
ReplyDeleteThe grubs I have never eaten and here is an explanation..Edible either raw or lightly cooked in hot ashes, they are sought out as a high-protein food by Indigenous Australians. The raw witchetty grub tastes like almonds and when cooked the skin becomes crisp like roast chicken while the inside becomes light yellow, like a fried egg.[3]
ReplyDeletenot too many grubs eaten here,(fish with them) but some still eat squrriel
ReplyDeleteoh no not squirrel for me...

ReplyDeleteYou know you're an Aussie if you call 'powdered sugar' -- 'icing sugar'! ROFL! Now I must look up the word 'girt'. Your pastry look delicious, and I am certainly going to try my hand at them. I'll be joining my son on Thanksgiving and I usually bake homemade creme puffs, and I'll just add your little treat to it.

In SAS ( elite fighters ) as a boy soldier we were introduced to eating anything to survive . My favourite at present ( and as food prices rise, economical ) is worm sushi . Also quite tasty and nutritious is broiled slug. Rat is a treat ( but you need to watch out when hunting them down ) Oh yes, and cockroach omelettes ( using crow eggs ) on a bed of autumn leaves ( in season )
