Crap Throwing Monkey Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Darn, I was hoping to show off my buns of steel. 771260[/snapback] Which would be fine...if I need to crack walnuts. But for something you can spread cinnamon frosting on, they need to be softer...still firm, of course, but reasonably pliable at the same time... ...what were we talking about again?

aussiew Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Thanks! The orange oil addition sounds delicious. I've copied and printed the recipe. Let me know how it comes out. I've actually never made it. But my mother used to make it often for "afternoon tea" - in this country known as an after school snack. "Mum" always cooked from scratch and this was one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This recipe seems custom made for using that as the topping in combination with the cinnamon. We shall try it - it's a rich recipe for our hardened arteries, but can't get into a shell, ya know! I'll report back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WellDressed Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 He Guys , I've checked our "recipes" and nobody has put a cinnamon cake, roll or any dessert with cinnamon recipe. Does anyone have a good one? i love cinnamon but have no good recipe... Nothing like the old "Betty Crocker German Streusel Swirl cake" Mmmmmm they were amazing.

stuckincincy Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Well, since this was resurrected -- the archived cookbook is located here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060909115847/...e.com/cookbook/ re: Aussiew's Australian Tea Cake. I've made it several times. It's excellent - just remember to use Caster (bar) sugar for the top cinnamon/sugar dusting. Caster sugar is an intermediate grind size between regular granulated sugar and confectioner's sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 There was a recipe in the Buffalo News food section not too long ago (couple of weeks?) that sounded pretty good. You might want to search for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 But you have said that you can't/won't/don't cook. Right...or am I being harsh and snotty? It's mostly "can't" cook, although I've gotten a bit better -- I can cook Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, and Thom Yum soup pretty well, in addition to simple things like grilling a hamburger or making some eggs.

Not bad at all. If you like to make rice dishes, I recommend getting a rice cooker. Search around for features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually been looking at them for awhile -- but they can be pretty expensive, and I wasn't sure how well they really work (although I haven't read anything negative about them). I was looking at these two, but do I really want to spend that much for something that cooks rice....? http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-NS-ZCC10-C...id=2VP3LPK6RMCN http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-NS-TGC10-C...id=2VP3LPK6RMCN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
