This afternoon I made muesli slice. It was adapted from a food magazine I bought yesterday. I say adapted because of the 8 ingredients, I replaced 6 with similar things.
So you get yourself
200g pepitas
1 weetbix, crushed (I used a vita brit)
Half a cup of self raising flour
Half a cup of sultanas (I used mixed fruit but picked out the peel because I don't like it)
Half a cup of rolled oats (I used muesli but shook the container first to separate the components into those which were oaty and those which were not)
Mix those things in a bowl.
Then put 50g butter (I used margarine), half a cup of raw sugar (I used demarara) and a quarter cup of honey (I used golden syrup) in a saucepan and cook for a while until bubbly and smooth. Mix in to the other stuff.
Spread in a lined 20cm square cake tin and press down with a spoon or something.
Bake at 170C for about 25 minutes or until golden.
The recipe says that it makes 15 squares. But it also stipulates using a square tin. Now boys and girls, is 15 a square number? No I don't think it is. So there are a few possibilities for what went wrong:
a) They actually mean 16 squares
b) They mean "four sided pieces"
c) The squares are not all of the same dimensions.
This is how you cut a square cake into 15 squares. I'm sure there are other ways but this is the first one I came up with:
