Homemade Tortilla Chips - Budget Baking Tip


Baked Tortillas


Quick, fast and easy tip for making your own Tortilla chips.  There also more healthy for you than bought  fried ones.   I have to watch how much oil I use when I cook, generally I avoid anything that's deep or shallow fried.  You can easily find Gluten free Tortillas in the free from section of most supermarkets. 

Iv been making my own for a while and didn't really think anything of it.  I'd been talking about food one day with a friend and mentioned making a sweet version and using yogurt as a dip.  Totally baffled her, till I told her and she had one of those "Doohh" moments when you miss something so obviously simple.
 All you need is a Tortilla wrap and a pair of scissors.  Rub oil onto the wrap.  Then cut up into 1/2 then 1/4 then 1/8 just like a pizza.

Pre-heat your oven to 180 Celsius, and place the triangles onto a baking sheet. Cook in oven till lightly coloured and crisp.  This can take between 8-10 Min's.

Can be left to cool and stored in an air tight container for  future use.  I like to serve them to friends with a salsa dip.  There also great with Veggie chili poured over the top.


If you want to make a sweet version, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.  Best to check after 5 mins, due to the sugar.  Once cooked leave to cool and serve with a sweet dip.  You could use Dairy free chocolate sauce, soy yogurt or a fruit salsa. 

The only limit is your own imagination xxx

How not to make a pineapple upside down cake

Image
My personal philosophy is that you should try to look for the positive in every situation.  - If you never try something, how are you going to know if it works?  - While mistakes are just ways too learn how not to do something.  So I thought Id share with you a few ways Iv learnt how to not make an upside down cake.   Thursday at the Pantry I  made a Pineapple Upside down cake for lunch.  Since it was for the canteen, it was a full dairy version.   Another dessert I couldn't eat, and I so wanted a piece.  We used a ceramic oven dish to bake the cake in.  Which leads me to the first mistake.  Last year I made a dairy free version at home, and used a loose bottom cake tin.  Not one of my better idea's, since the syrup seeped out of the tin all over my oven.  - Always use a solid baking tin or pan.  If you do use a loose bottom tin, wrapped tin foil round it to stop the ...

Scottish Tablet - Dairy free & Vegan

Image
          Less well know than Haggis, tablet is another traditional Scottish food that's a whole lot sweeter.   Scottish Tablet - wiki    One of our regular customers at work dropped off some home made Tablet for us this week.  As always everyone but me could eat it, so I took a piece home for my mum instead.  It got me thinking that there must be some way to make it dairy free.   Shop bought packaged Scottish tablet is never as good as homemade.  As a child growing up in Scotland, I have fond memories of the sweet.  It was sold at cake and bake sales, and if you were really lucky the little corner shop would have a regular supplier.  It was always wrapped into portions with greaseproof paper, that way you knew it was authentic.        Scottish Tablet recipe     Traditional Scottish tablet is not exactly dairy free.  Usually...

Curdled Rice pudding

Image
What it should have looked like..... Due to a touch of nostalgia I decided to make some rice pudding today.  Also it mean't I'd have a pre-made breakfast for tomorrow morning and 15 mins more in bed.  Cold porridge just doesn't taste as good as cold creamy rice pudding. For me rice pudding has to be baked in the oven as that's the way my mum taught me to make it.  It was also one of the first recipes I was able to make dairy free.    Basic rice pudding constists of 3 simple ingredients  1 1/2 oz Rice 1 pint Milk  1tbsp Sugar Baked at 150 celsius for 1 1/2hrs - 2 hrs Something magical seems to happen to them, when cooked for a few hours in a low oven.  Only not this time because I decided to add some extra ingredients!!! One of which managed to react with the soy milk and curdle it.  Suspects are Mixed raisins, diced almonds or desiccated coconut.  I was able to save it and make it edi...
