Homemade Sausages
sausages

Most children love sausages, as do adults, however I am quite concerned about the ingredients used in commercial sausages.  Apart from the obviously high fat content they usually contain high volumes of salt, these home-made ones taste delicious and only take a few minutes to prepare.

Makes 16 – Serves 8

1lb pork mince
2-4 teaspoons mixed fresh herbs
1 large clove of garlic
1 egg
50g soft white breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper
A little oil for frying

Place all the ingredients above, except the oil, into a large bowl and mix really well with your hands or a wooden spoon. Divide the mixture into 16 pieces and roll into a sausage shape
Heat some oil in your frying pan and cook until golden on all sides.

Lemon Buns with Lemon Butter Icing

party-cakes

Kids love little buns at parties and these lemon ones go down particularly well, with the delicious lemony icing. I bought lots of different and unusual colours from online cookshop www.cccshop.co.uk who deliver to Ireland e.g. baby blue, purple

Makes 12

100g butter chopped
100g caster sugar
150g self-raising white flour
3 eggs
Zest of 1 lemon
Preheat oven to 210 C

Put all ingredients into a food processor and whizz for 30 seconds.  Clear down the sides with a spatula and whiz again until you get a smooth creamy consistency.  Spoon into your bun cases.  

Place in very hot oven, as soon as buns start to rise reduce heat to 190 C.  Bake for 15 - 20 minutes in total. Or until risen and golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Icing
50g butter melted
150g icing sugar
Juice of half a lemon or to taste
Combine the melted butter and icing sugar and then add the lemon juice to taste, spoon onto your cooled buns and decorate how you please.
