Ingredients
1lb/16oz flour
1 tsp salt
1 level tsp mixed spice (or less)
0.12lb/2oz butter
0.12lb/2oz currants
0.06lb/1oz yeast
0.09lb/1.5oz sugar
0.5 pint/10 uk fl oz milk (about)
Cuisine: Cooking time: 25 mins Serving: 6-8 people

Here’s a fun traditional recipe for Easter with family and friends.

Method

Sift together the flour, salt and spice. Rub in the butter and then add the currants.

Warm the mixture. Cream the yeast and the sugar together and add the warm milk; leave to sponge for about 10 minutes.

Mix the flour etc. with the yeast and milk to form a light dough. Beat well and leave in a warm place to rise until the dough has doubled its bulk. Turn onto a floured surface and knead well and then divide into 12 pieces. Make into buns then flatten and mark with a cross.

Stand on a floured baking tray in a warm place to prove for about 20 minutes. Bake in the halogen oven for 20 minutes at 180°C (356°F). When cooked, brush with a glaze made by dissolving a little sugar in water.

Use a mixer with a dough hook; it works very well. Put 6 or as many as fit in the halogen oven on the higher rack and 6 on the lower. Use the extender ring if the ones on the top brown too quickly.

Swap them round after 10 minutes but turn them over on their rack and cook for about another 6-8 minutes, again swapping those on the top with those on the bottom.

Serve and enjoy

3-4 tablespoons water

300-400ml (11-14fl oz) hot beef stock
Cuisine: Cooking time: 85 mins Serving: 4 people

Here’s a delicious halogen oven recipe from Sarah Flower. Please note: this recipe requires cooking on a hob at the start.

Her book, containing 200 tasty Halogen recipes, entitled “The Everyday Halogen Family Cookbook”, is available through the Amazon link to the right in our sidebar.

Method

Place the flour and paprika in a bowl and season. Rinse the beef, then coat with the flour.

Select your ovenproof/hob-proof casserole dish, making sure it fits in your halogen oven. Place this on the hob and heat a little oil over a medium heat.

Add the beef and cook until browned. Then remove and leave to one side.

Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion starts to soften. Add the sweet potato and carrot and allow to sweat for a few minutes. Place the beef back in the casserole dish.

Pour on the stout, stirring well. Then add the barley, sugar, bay leaves and thyme. Season to taste.

Cook the casserole on the hob for another 5 minutes, before transferring to the low rack of the halogen oven. Cover with a lid or double layer of tin foil. Set the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and cook for 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings by mixing together the flour and suet. Then season and mix in the fresh parsley (if using) and crumbled stilton. Add a little water at a time until you have formed a pliable but not too sticky dough. Form into balls and leave on a floured surface until needed.

Check the casserole after 50 minutes. Add the hot beef stock if needed. Cook again for 10 minutes, before removing the lid and adding the dumplings.

Cook for a further 20-30 minutes until they are light and fluffy. Serve immediately.
