We had a few things left over from our various cooking escapades recently. These included:
1) toffees from the pear and toffee muffins
2) an extra apple from my two-course pasty
3) pastry from the aforementioned pasty
This more a description of what I did, I can't really give an ingredients list because I made up the quantities (you know, throw it all in a pan and hope for the best?)
1) Firstly I melted the toffees. I added some milk so they wouldn't burn. Then I thought 'this doesn't look like much' and added butter and muscovado sugar too (that's what gives the brown colour, no chocolate)
2) Chopped up the apple.
4) Filled manikin with apple. Poured a tablespoon of toffee mixture on top.
5) Had pastry left over so made some lids.
6) Cooked them on the highest setting on our oven (remember its two settings, hot and cold?) until I could smell them. This was about 35 minutes.
I then took them out of the oven and the bottom wasn't cooked properly so I put them back in for 10 minutes upside down, having taken them out of the ramekins
Results:
- I would make a thicker pastry casing
- Use whole toffees chopped up instead of melted down so it isn't too wet
- But them in a muffin tin maybe instead of ramekins, as the bottom didn't cook properly the first time round
Either way, they still tasted delicious!
Make again . with more toffee. :D
