This recipe is based on one from the WW Food magazine. I have altered a couple of things and thermofied it.

None Judy. I even had a few.

Cookie - what is the asterisk for at the oven temperature?  Does it indicate that it is the fan forced temperature?

[mab19]

Cuilidh, it's just a symbol we use to indicate degrees.  It doesn't mean fan forced.

[Cuilidh]

OK, thanks.  I will assume that it is a standard oven, not fan forced.

Yes Marina. standard oven temperature. I used to be able to do the temperature but I forgot. ^O
I can still do it, I will have to remember.

[Cuilidh]

Thanks also, Cookie.  I had never noticed the asterisk used in that way before ... to me it always means there is a qualifying end note to give more information.  I will know in future.

You are correct in the use of the asterisk Marina. It was just me being lazy. (and thinking I had forgotten how to do the ^O sign.)

[judydawn]

I remember Thermomixer teaching us how to do it many years ago cookie but I’m sure the asterisk is much quicker.  If I don’t do something frequently I forget how to do it !

[cookie1]

Same here Judy. It's like the links Cream Puff taught us to do, I don't think I could do that anymore. I'm usually on the ipad so it is harder there.

[judydawn]

Yes, I don’t do them anymore either LOL.
