This peanut butter noodle recipe looks good;

Serves 4
smooth peanut butter 4 tbsp
light soy sauce 2 tbsp
dark soy sauce 1 tsp
Chinkiang vinegar 1 tbsp (or red wine vinegar)
chilli oil 2-6 tbsp, to taste
sesame oil 2 tsp
garlic finely chopped 4 tsp
stock or water 3-4 tbsp
dried udon noodles 500g

To finish
white sesame seeds 2 tsp
finely sliced spring onion greens 4 tbsp

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry wok or frying pan, over a gentle heat, until golden. Set aside.

In a bowl, use a spoon to mash the peanut butter with the soy sauces and vinegar until evenly mixed. Stir in the chilli and sesame oils and the garlic, with enough stock or water to give the sauce the consistency of single cream.

Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the packet. Drain well and divide among the serving bowls. Sprinkle each serving of noodles with the spring onion greens and toasted sesame seeds. Ask your guests to mix everything together well before eating.

LOL! I am not going to stake my reputation on them - but they look worth a try. I hope everyone posts a good recipe - I do not have a very high bar for finding things edible.

Rock Buns
8 oz wholemeal/wholewheat flour
4 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice/all spice
2 oz margarine
2 oz sugar
2 oz sultanas or dried mixed fruit
1 egg or 1 reconstituted dried egg
milk
2 teaspoons sugar for topping

Sift the flour, baking powder and spice
Rub in the margarine
Add the sugar, dried fruit and the egg
Gradually add enough milk to make a sticky mixture
Put spoonful onto parchment paper on baking tray ( makes 12-14)
Sprinkle with the sugar
Cook in a hot oven for 12-15 minutes (180-200?C?)

and scones - a New Zealand classic. You just roughly mix the ingredients - the less the better and flop onto a floured surface, cut to shape and put in oven. (I don't sift and it still works).

EDMONDS SCONES
INGREDIENTS
3 cups Edmonds standard flour
6 tsp Edmonds baking powder
? tsp salt
extra milk for brushing tops to make golden
75g butter
1 to 1? cups milk, approximately
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 220?C. Grease or flour a baking tray.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the milk and quickly mix with a round-bladed table knife to a soft dough. For light and tender scones the mixture should be quite soft and a little sticky. Scrape the dough onto the floured baking tray and flour the top.
Working quickly, pat the dough out to 2cm thickness and with a floured knife cut it into 12 even-sized pieces, then separate the scones to allow 2cm space between them. Brush the tops with milk.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep them soft.

Enjoy!

I love rock buns One of my staples is flapjacks, will dig out a recipe when I can. Uses porridge oats, golden syrup, & sultanas. Very filling, easy and cheap to make.
