This is ideal with a nice bit of salad. Enjoy

It is a popular dish we made for kids at school and the family love this too.

I've not made a carrot cake with so much in it and without a frosting on top. This was fantastic, so moist and lasted for days in a tupperware airtight box. A definate new favourite carrot cake recipe for me, but next time I make this, I'm going to try some orange flavoured cream cheese frosting! Definately worth trying though if you like carrot cake. 👍

@@BudgetCookingandBaking I bet 👏👏 the added coconut I love x

Glad they turned out OK. Thank you for letting me know. i love to hear how people get on with trying any of the recipes for themselves.

It certainly did. Simple to make and optional fillings have been tried.

Definately have a go. I have tried to show in the video how easy they can be to make. My mums family were a family of butchers, so was taught an easy recipe years ago and have used this one since. A little extra tip: If you like branston pickle, pop a teaspoon of it on top of the meat before popping the pastry lid on, so it cooks in the pie! Lovely. if you like a pork pie with pickle! Enjoy!

Thank you for your kind words and the encouragement. it means a lot that the recipes are easy to follow and hopefully people will enjoy them.

Glad it turned out well for you and hope you enjoyed it ☺️

The hot water pastry is very easy to make and most people have bun tins, so mini ones are quick and easy. I made a large batch of these, and freeze them, so they defrost overnight in the fridge and easy to just take a couple out when you fancy one.

English mustard is nice with these

Plant based should still work out fine for the recipe. Enjoy

Thank you for loving the recipe

It turned out lovely. Used to make custard frosting on some of my school cakes, so thought i would try it on a walnut cake and it turned out great.

I love walnuts, so any recipe with walnuts in is a win win for me. Cake just doesn't last long in my family!

The recipe was great, they stayed fresh for days in a tupperware tub. lovely warmed up in microwave for 20 seconds

Hello Dorothy I'm new on here but noticed your comment about the flan tins, I got mine from amazon and they cook a pastry flan beautifully.😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I have seen these tins, they are on my shopping list to try

This is easier than it looks once you get the hang of it. I am lovong trying ots of different dishes with it though. Think air fryers are just so handy in this day and age.

I don't see why not, just mix it with some potato and onion and it should bake fine.

Yeah I love Cherry Bakewell too. We have a simplified version we have to use when making it for school dinners, but this is very much like a Mr. kipling slice, only bigger. Lovely with a brew! The music gets swapped about with different videos, glad you like this one better ☺️

@@BudgetCookingandBaking it does look delicious x

No problem. Having been a head school cook in charge of 2 kitchens, for quite a few years and having to stick to tight council budgets, I have had to learn to budget with food recipes, so hoping to pass this onto people to help them.

It was really tasty, not made one for ages. had it with a jacket spud and some salad, lovely!

Thank you for your lovely comments and for subscribing. I hope to bring lots more old school and traditional recipes to the channel in the future for people to try.

Thank you for the lovely comment.

Meringues are so easy to make and lovely with any fruit and cream really. I make the big ones for home and family, used to make mini nest ones for school dinners with a little cream on and mixed fruit on top, it was a good way to get kids to eat fruit.

Its a lovely nostalgic pudding

Wow, thank you for the lovely comments. My dad was a chef, my mum comes from a butchers family. I trained as a cook nearly 40 years ago, have been a head school cook when my kids were young, been a catering manager, etc. so its it just years of experience coming through. I just love to cook and want to pass on easy recipes that don't cost a lot to make to try and help people make good traditional home cooked and baked foods. Try the cornflake tart, you will love it! 😀

Hi Matthew, Yes I found the online manual eventually, I have saved it to check back on. I use the large drawer on mine more than the 2 duel ones, but I have baked cakes in them and they turned out great. pastry is a challenge, but when I do my update, I will let people know how I've got on with it. It's not as scary as i thought though now i have used it a few times. Good luck with it. 😀

Just recorded school choc sponge and choc custard, which will be on in a couple of weeks. Will be doing chocolate concrete and pink custard in another couple of weeks after that, looking at my recipe schedule 🍰 😀

I just use lard from aldi. Just a quick tip, if you want to make the pastry flakier, use just lard, so you can use double the amount of lard and don't use butter. If you want it more buttery, you can use double butter and you don't need lard. The 50/50 fat mix is just a standard shortcrust pastry mix in the recipe, but either of the other options will produce nice pastry. Hope you enjoy it. I have made tons of this school pudding over the years, done this way with jam and re-baked for a few mins. It never lasts long, always popular. Enjoy!

@@BudgetCookingandBaking Thanks for the pastry tip Kay I'll probably go 50/50, and after watching your video I'm going to make my own pastry from now on instead of buying the ready made stuff. Much appreciated.

Make sure the minimum temp is 75 degrees, it should though if you follow the recipe and oven temp get over 80 degrees. Thanks

Hi Matthew, thank you for subscribing, its much appreciated as we try to grow the channel with recipes. Yes I've been testing the duronic air fryer out with different recipes and foods. I'm going to do an update video in the next few weeks to give my opinion on it and will then be adding some recipes and foods I've cooked using it, so will start to have more coming out over the summer and beyond.

Yes you could use twix for the top. The recipe makes the sponge and frosting fudgy so the finger of fudge was just to top it off 😀

Yes one of my early bakes as a kid aswell. These are so easy to make and really moreish. Kids loved these when I made them for school dinners

Oh yes, chips, mushy peas and a bit of gravy. Spot on

Glad your loving the recipes. Sorry to hear the music doesn't suit. We do music rather than me talking for a couple of reasons. I lost part of my hearing a few years ago due to meningitis and have discovered so many things that need doing differently now. It got us thinking about other people who struggle with hearing, so decided to do the subtitles instead, which is also good for anyone who wants to convert it to another language. The music in the background is just so its not quiet 😁

@@BudgetCookingandBaking sorry to hear about your hearing loss and I hope I haven’t offended you as that was never my intention 🙏 yes I understand about you not wanting silence but that music is just mind blowing 🙈 so many use it and it spoils the viewing for me , hey I may be the only one 🤣

@@carolcurtis1573 No you haven't offended at all.

Yes I loved them as a child. And as an adult being able to cook them, although a bit healthier now than used to be, but theres still a few good ols favourites in there.

Thank you for the comments. Will do. Hope to bring lots of other basic homecooking recipesand old school favourites to the channel.

Yes, I know it is easy to make. This recipe was done before I'd got to my jam making recipes which will be on at a later date :)

Yes, doesn't it take you back to the old days

No problem. Just checked the method and added them in, looks like a bit had got missed when it was put in. Thanks for letting me know :)

You can get tinned corned beef with reduced salt if needed, but this is a traditional british pie favourite, so is a classic as it is, but if it works for you using minced and in a slow cooker with added peas, then thats all that matters.

Tried talking videos when I first started, but I tend to go into lots of detail, cause I'm passionate about cooking, so waffled on and videos were too long, so the decision was made by all involved that the videos should be shorter and non speaking just subtitled, but that it would also help hard of hearing people be able to follow the recipes. Glad you subscribed though, as will be doing some other vidoes in time with me on them talking :)

@@BudgetCookingandBaking I would be interested to know how you have got on with baking in the air fryer. I am thinking of getting one. Would you recommend the one you have? Like the idea of the large basket as well as the smaller ones.

@@dorothyhopkins5460 Hi Dorothy, Its great. I did a lot of research before buying one and didn't want to buy a ninja as expensive, but wanted to be able to bake in it so needed the large drawer aswell as the duel ones. To be honest, i use the large draw more, as do a lot of meals and baking in it now. I've done cheese scones in it, they were lovely. Tried a toad in the hole last weekend to see how it would turn out, but yorkshire pud batter didn't rise very well, so will try it again. Pastry bases don't seem to cook as well as in the oven, but all my sponge based things have worked fine. Chicken and sausage cook really well and fast. Still trying lots of other stuff out, as going to start doing some meals in them once had a bit more testing, but mainly positive upto now and for the price, I managed to get it on offer so got 20% off in jan sales. I can't say how it would work for anyone else, as suppose its what you want to use it for, but for me, I'm glad i got the duel and the large drawer one. Kay

@@BudgetCookingandBaking Thanks for that Kay. Not sure then if it does not cook pastry well. I just cook for myself so looking for alternative to the big cooker.

Yes, I had it as a child aswell, cold on picnics quite a bit aswell. Always a popular pie and cheap to make. Thank you for subscribing, i really appreciate it :)

Thank you for subscribing and your kind comments. Yes Custard slices, Iced slices, along with chocolate eclairs and elephants feet are all coming during the summer months, plus some seasonal strawberry puds during wimbledon season and Rhubarb recipes, along with my budget bakes and meals coming in the autumn. Lots of recipes lined up for at least the next 3 years or so, without even thinking about it, using my old school recipes and recipe collection over the years. So hopefully plenty to keep people interested.

@@BudgetCookingandBaking sounds amazing. Really looking forward to them 😊

Oh yes, sounds great. I love mine with mushy peas and mint sauce crunch. Iceburg lettuce chopped up with a bt of raw onion, coated in mint sauce and served on the side! A childhood thing my mum used to make cause my dad grew lettuce and fresh mint and onions in the garden, so we had that with allsorts. Its lovely.

@@BudgetCookingandBaking Very tasty for sure

I didn't add either as theres salt in the cheese and the strength of the caramalized onions is all I need for this, but you could add them if you wanted to.

Thank you for subscribing. I really appreciate it.

Yes I know what you mean. Even as a school cook i used to make mini scones and the kids loved these ones. I've tried them in my air fryer aswell now and just as good baked in there.

Yes, the potato helps to bulk it out, but its caramailzing the onions that gives it the lovely flavour.

I just use Aldi's own brand of lard. Along with cheap willow butter, works fine for the pastry.
