Molten Chocolate lava cake

4 ounces unsalted butter

6 ounces dark chocolate

2 eggs

2 egg yolks

1.78 ounces sugar

Pinch of salt

2 tablespoons plain flour

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 230 degrees celsius . Butter and lightly flour four 6-ounce ramekins. Tap out the excess flour. Set the ramekins on a baking sheet.

Step 2

In a double boiler, over simmering water/microwave melt the butter with the chocolate. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the egg yolks, sugar and salt at high speed until thickened and pale.

Step3

Whisk the chocolate until smooth. Quickly fold it into the egg mixture along with the flour. Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekins and bake for 12 minutes, or until the sides of the cakes are firm but the centers are soft. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute, then cover each with an inverted dessert plate. Carefully turn each one over, let stand for 10 seconds and then unmold. Serve immediately.

I love my own shortbread.

225 mcdougals plain

110 corn flour

110 castor sugar silver spoon castor 110 sugar

225 Tesco salted butter

I sieve everything after measuring when you’ve rolled out the dough and cut it with your cutters only roll and cut once more never more than two rolls of the dough. Put in the fridge for an hour if you can before putting in the over, dot all over with a fork so the hot air can escape then into the over (160 degrees) for around 14 minutes, checking all the time towards the end so they don’t go brown. They’ll harden as they cool so don’t worry if they’re not solid upon taken them out the oven.

I concur!!

This is a great Shepherds Pie recipe for your left over lamb

1 tbsp olive oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 carrots, chopped

2 celery sticks, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

75ml red wine

500g leftover slow-roast lamb, shredded

100ml lamb or chicken stock

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

3 tbsp tomato ketchup

1 tbsp tomato purée

800g floury potatoes, cubed

3 tbsp butter

2 large free-range egg yolks

25g grated parmesan, plus extra for sprinkling

Heat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, then gently cook the onion, carrots, celery and garlic for 10-12 minutes until tender.

Add the thyme and red wine, then simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the leftover lamb, stock, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and tomato purée, then season. Simmer gently for 15 minutes until the mixture has reduced.

Put the potatoes in a large pan of cold salted water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 12 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain, return the potatoes to the pan and mash until smooth. Beat in the butter and egg yolks, then stir through the grated parmesan.

Spread the lamb mixture in a 1.5 litre ovenproof dish and top with the mash.

Sprinkle over a little extra parmesan and season. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden on top and bubbling.

Cheese Toasties.

Frying pan.Cheese. Bread. Butter.

Butter the bread and grate the cheese.

Medium heat pan, add bread butter side down.

Put cheese on the dry side facing you. Put the other bread on top so butter facing up.

Put a saucer on top with something out the cupboards that's heavy.

4 mins or so, remove the jar of dolimo. Turn the sarnie over, the cooked side is now facing up.

Weigh it down again. Once both sides cooked remove. Throw grated cheese into pan and return the toastie. Just let it sit, don't move it.

Remove with a fish slice, egg flipping thing and allow the melted cheese on the outside to drip and hang for 15 seconds.

Flip it onto a plate so that you have a vertical wall of crispy cheese on the outside of the toastie. Snap that off and enjoy, don't burn your mouth on the toastie

Not a super serious one. Something I saw on Facebook.

"For those learning to cook on lockdown.

That's enough rice, stop.

That's not enough garlic"
