Should we pay kids to go to school?

Amaretti I made this evening. One missing because I couldn't resist. 😁Wonderfully chewy.
This the third time I tried writing . School error didn't get the millionaire shortbread out of the fridge hour before cutting . So some pieces have cracked tops. Used dark brown sugar in my gingerbread this time. Added a depth of flavour to the mix. Everything packed as I don't know how I will be after my pneumonia jab this afternoon.
Look forward to your recipes.
Cheese rocks
200g P flour
150g mature or extra mature cheddar grated.
150g spread I use olive spread for baking as I find it gives a lighter texture. Don't use butter as with the cheese it would be waste of money these are cheesy.
1 med egg
Oven 200° fan
You are supposed to rub fat into the flour . I can't do that.
So I grate the cheese in the bowl add rest of ingredients and mix until everything comes to together into a ball.
Cover put into the fridge for 30 mins or over night.
You are supposed to divide into 3 roll to cylinder and cut pieces off.
I can't do that so just spoon rough dessert spoon mixture on 2 trays lined with baking paper.
Bake 15-20 until brown.
Freezes well and as someone doubled baked them.
I love people making the recipes there own it's how it should be.
Madgran will post it after my breakfast. Got a batch cooking at the moment. These are straight out of the oven my mango chutney and sweet potato samasoes
Redhead hope this does seem patronising by posting the pics or a case of teaching your mother to suck eggs.
I cook my sweet potato in a lined roasting with foil prick them a few times add some water and cover with foil tightly. Then I cook the for a hour at 200° while my dinner is reheating and leave them in the oven for half to a hour depends when I remember to take them out . I put them into a bowl and leave over night in the fridge once cold. Next top and tail and the peel comes of easily. I cook butternut squash the same way. I can't peel them from fresh and found this way is easier for me .
I used 3 sweet potatoes and mixed in mango chutney until I like the taste. I always make more mix than I need it freezes well but I used the left over to make a topping for tonight's reheated stew.
I have used 2 packets of fresh filo pastry each pack had 7 sheets so I cut then in halves horizontally then fold into 3 length wise. Brushed with melted spread and put a teaspoon of the mix into the corner and folded it over to make triangles. Then put onto a tray lined with baking paper that has been brushed with un melted spread and them covered with cling film and out into the fridge until tomorrow. Before baking I will brush the tops with rape seed oil. And bake until golden brown 15-20 mins . Oven temp is on the packet. I measured one it was 5x3x3 cms but they weren't all the same size. I do tasty not pretty.
I made my cheese rock mix and it's in the fridge to cook tomorrow morning.
I have my pneumonia jab in the afternoon and don't know how I will feel so all the work will be do and will just need to wrap everything ready for craft party on Thursday. I put the melted chocolate on my MS today .
Hope this makes sense. I now realise why cook books are so winded . It's trying to remember what you do instead of just winging it.
This is my millionaire shortbread so far. Will put on the milk chocolate tomorrow.
Thank you everyone for these, am really looking forward to upping my game now! Will be having a go at Whiff's Brownies with Lindor Balls on top for extra razzle
