Usage notes

To make 6 muffins: Take 200 g (1 cup) of mix. Put mix in bowl, make well in middle. Add 175 ml (3/4 cup / 6 oz) of water, and 1 tbsp oil. Stir just to blend thoroughly. Divide amongst greased muffin tins or ungreased silicon muffin cups. Bake: 20 to 25 minutes at 175 C / 350 F, or until a skewer comes out clean in middle.

To make cornbread: Take 400 g (2 cups) of mix. Put mix in bowl, make well in middle. Add 350 ml (1 1/2 cups / 12 oz) of water, and 2 tbsp oil. Stir just to blend thoroughly. Pour into greased 20 cm / 20 cm (8 x 8 inch) pan Bake: 35 to 45 minutes at 175 C / 350 F, or until a skewer comes out clean in middle.

Options:

  • If you need it to stay a bit moister, longer, then either add an extra tbsp oil  or 50 g ( 1/2 cup / 2 oz) of finely-grated carrot (half a medium-sized carrot.)
  • Try reducing water to 125 ml (1/2 cup / 4 oz) and adding 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) fat-free sour cream for a “cakier”, less-crumbly crumb.
  • You can use wheat germ instead of whole wheat flour.
  • Instead of oil, you could use melted butter, margarine or shortening.

What's New in Home Canning

Quote of the day

“The importance of a well-planned canning program cannot be emphasized too strongly. Survey after survey has shown us that home canning as part of a wise home-production program can make the difference between diets that are poor — and diets that are good, nutritionally. Home-produced, home-canned food helps provide better diets with fewer food dollars.”

— Dr Louise Stanley, USDA Radio Homemakers Chat. 22 August 1941.
