Easter menu for us is simple. (Remember it is cold here)
Hot cross buns, juice and coffee for breakfast. Instead of hot cross buns we may have Baked French Toast that I think I have shared before.
Lunch is something light, fresh fruit or bread with cheese etc.
Dinner this year is
Turkey breast, with roasted potato, onion, sweet potato and carrots. Boiled peas and corn. Cranberry sauce and gravy.
For dessert
Self saucing chocolate pudding. This recipe is one that my Mum has been making for as long as I can remember. It is very rich and a small bit goes a long way.
Chocolate Sauce Pudding
1 cup self raising flour,
3/4 cup sugar,
2 tablespoon cocoa,
1/2 cup milk,
1 tsp vanilla,
2 tablespoon melted butter.
For the sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar,
1/4 cup cocoa
1 1/4 cup boiling water.
Sift dry ingredients for pudding in large bowl. Stir in milk, vanilla and butter.
Spoon into a well greased oven safe dish.
Combine sauce ingredients in a jug and mix well.
Gently pour hot liquid over the pudding mix.
Bake 180 (350)degrees for 35 minutes or until pudding is set.
We serve with fresh pouring cream and icecream. Can be served with fresh strawberries or raspberries.
