                  Crispix and Peanuts
                  A quick one from Pat
                  Mix together 1 cup of peanuts (unsalted)
                  and one 350 g box of Crispix cereal.
                  Bring the following to a boil:
                  1 1/2 cup brown sugar
                  3/4 cup margarine (not melted)
                  1/3 cup white syrup
                  Pour over crispix and peanuts mixture and microwave
                  for 1 minute. Stir and repeat the 1 minute microwaving
                  2 more times, stirring between each time. After it cools,
                  put it in a container and break it up a bit, as it tends
                  to clump together a bit.
                     
                  Chocolate Chip Muffins
                  Another good one from Pat
                  2 cup flour
                  1 cup sugar
                  3/4 cup margarine
                  Blend the above until crumbly with a pastry cutter.
                  Reserve 1/2 cup for topping later.
                  To the remaining mixture add the following:
                  1-1 1/3 c. buttermilk (or if you don't have
                  buttermilk you can add 2 tsp. lemon juice or
                  vinegar to same amount of milk
)
                  1 unbeaten egg
                  1 tsp. baking soda
                  1 c. chocolate chips (mint chips are great too)
                  Sprinkle on topping reserved at the beginning on
                  each muffin, and bake at 375 F for 15-20 minutes.
                     
                  Granola
                  :-)From Pat
                  3 1/2 cup coarse oatmeal
                  1 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
                  1/4 cup sesame seeds
                  1/4 cup fine unsweetened coconut
                  Can also add 1 cup of almonds if desired.
                  Mix the following together until it is melted:
                  1/4 cup honey
                  1/4 cup oil
                  1/4 cup hot water
                  Coat the dry ingredients with the wet - put in
                  a roaster or large container and bake at 250 F
                  until browned. Keep checking about each half hour
                  and stir it, as it burns easily. Raisins can be
                  added while it is still warm. Doesn't need sweetening.

                  Sent to me by Maurice :-)
                  Ingredients
                  8 oz of plain flour and 2.5 teaspoons
                  of baking powder or self raising flour
                  2 oz butter
                  1/2 teaspoon salt
                  3/4 cup of milk
                  Sift two cups of flour with baking powder and salt into
                  a mixing bowl on top of butter. Rub the butter into flour
                  lightly with the finger tips until the mixture resembles
                  bread crumbs. Make a well in the centre and pour in the
                  milk and mix with a round bladed knife to a soft dough.
                  Turn unto a lightly floured board and knead very lightly
                  until smooth (about 10 kneads). Roll out 1/2 inch thick,
                  cut into 2" circles and bake until golden brown. Serve
                  warm with cream and strawberry jam.
