FRESH EGG CUSTARD
Fresh Egg Custard is a tricky little number to make !!!
If you are not careful you tend up with something resembling scrambled egg rather than custard, but it is worth the effort and lovely on steamed fruit pudding etc.

300 ml skimmed milk
2 medium egg yolks
2 dessertspoons sweetener
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
Warm milk ( don't boil)
In a pudding basin beat yolks, sweetener and vanilla together, pour on the warm milk stirring well.
But bowl on top of pan of hot water and keep beating until the custard thickens.

I might be wrong but I don't think it would be possible to make it without sugar as the yeast (in the elderflower) converts the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Without the sugar there is nothing to convert. It might taste OK but there wouldn't be any alcohol in it, or carbon dioxide for that matter so it wouldn't be fizzy either.

[ermintrude]

Yeah but cordial's not alcoholic You can't create alcohol without sugar.

scan bran recipes i have come across on here and variuos other places:

(you can also use bran cereal such as allbran instead of scan bran works out a lot cheaper - check your books for allowed amounts of bran as hex b)

Sticky Toffee Pudding (Using Scan Bran!)

Ingredients

This recipe is just 4 1/2 syns for the whole cake and 1 healthy extra B choice.

Ingredients:

- 4 Scan Bran
- 1 Weetabix
- 1 tbsp. golden syrup
- 1 cup sweetener
- 1-2 eggs, beaten
- 1 sachet of toffee options

Cooking Instructions

1. Break the scan bran into pieces, pour on a little hot water to soften.

2. Once soft, mash with a fork. Add the weetabix, sweetener, toffee options and golden syrup. Mix well.

3. Add the beaten egg a little at a time until the mixture is soft but not runny.

4. Line a loaf tin with foil and spray with FryLight. Place the mixture in the tin at bake in a pre-heated oven at 180c for about 45 mins
You can actually make this one with any flavour options

Curly Wurly Scan Bran Cake:
This recipe is just 8 ½ syns for the whole cake and 1 healthy extra B choice.

Ingredients:

- 4 Scan Bran
- 1 Weetabix
- 1 tbsp. golden syrup
- 1 cup sweetener
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 Bashed up curly wurly

Cooking Instructions

1. Break the scan bran into pieces; pour on a little hot water to soften.

2. Once soft, mash with a fork. Add the Weetabix, sweetener, golden syrup & curly wurly (I use a frozen one as it is easier to break up). Mix well.

3. Add the beaten egg a little at a time until the mixture is soft but not runny.

4. Line a loaf tin with foil or non stick baking parchment. Place the mixture in the tin and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180c for about an hour

You can always replace the Curly Wurly with a sachet of Options hot chocolate drink (whatever flavour you prefer), this would reduce the syns to 4 ½ plus 1 healthy extra B choice
