I have made this lots of times and it never lasts long in our house because it's so yummy. I love it's dense texture

I will say that I do tweak it a fair bit, playing around with sugar amounts and different flours. I have also subbed in zuchinni and carrot and it has still worked out great.

My husband has been asking me to make these for him ever since the Christmas food hit the supermarket shelves. I don't usually like Fruit Mince Pies so I have been dragging my feet a little with it (and having 2 little kids doesn't help either) but I tried these at the Festive Flavours cooking class at the weekend and they were delicious. I can't wait to make them now, just need some child free time so I can have a go at them

I made this tonight for dinner and it really is a very adaptable recipe.

I didn't have any cheese so I added in a couple more eggs, used buttermilk instead of milk (just made a huge batch of butter), no bacon but added a big tin of tuna and I used about a cup of zucchini. Next time I will try some sliced tomatoes on top 

My husband loves this dip but we leave out the parmesan. I prefer the dip with raw fresh beetroot (gives it a yummy earthy flavour) but my husband likes the sweeter, smoother taste with canned beetroot. Either way, it's a regular in our house and our nearly 3-year-old loves it too.

Just had my first go at these and probably won't again. I've just had one warm out of the oven and it is light, fluffy and delicious but my mixture was so wet and I ended up adding heaps more flour just so I could get it out of the bowl! It was far too much mucking around for my liking when other scones are easier and just as nice....

I also used watery homemade buttermilk. Maybe that affected the mixture? They still rose and taste great though...

Hi all,

I'm Carly and I am counting down to when my Thermomix arrives!! Just over 2 weeks to wait...

I can't wait to get stuck into all the recipes!
