1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Teams podcast 2 00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,453 Speaker 1: from News Talks. 3 00:00:11,453 --> 00:00:15,213 Speaker 2: That'd be the school holidays are upon us, and if 4 00:00:15,213 --> 00:00:17,253 Speaker 2: the last thirty six hours or so has been anything 5 00:00:17,253 --> 00:00:19,333 Speaker 2: to go by, you probably need to have some rainy 6 00:00:19,413 --> 00:00:24,173 Speaker 2: day options up your sleeve. Good news, Nicky Wicks is 7 00:00:24,213 --> 00:00:26,253 Speaker 2: here this morning with a recipe that should sort you 8 00:00:26,293 --> 00:00:27,333 Speaker 2: out for a little bit morning. 9 00:00:29,253 --> 00:00:30,813 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're really going to need a little bit of 10 00:00:31,733 --> 00:00:34,213 Speaker 3: indoor activity up with these school holidays, at least the 11 00:00:34,333 --> 00:00:35,453 Speaker 3: first week. By the look of it. 12 00:00:36,213 --> 00:00:38,333 Speaker 2: I think so. I think so. It's always good to 13 00:00:38,413 --> 00:00:39,973 Speaker 2: have one of these up your sleeve. And this is 14 00:00:40,013 --> 00:00:42,773 Speaker 2: like a fantastic, delicious little number for the kids to 15 00:00:42,773 --> 00:00:43,693 Speaker 2: get their hands dirty. 16 00:00:44,213 --> 00:00:47,733 Speaker 3: Look it really as jam and marmalade drops. I love these. 17 00:00:47,733 --> 00:00:51,173 Speaker 3: They're a really old recipe, but they look cute and 18 00:00:51,253 --> 00:00:54,933 Speaker 3: the kids love sticking their thumbs in the dough, so 19 00:00:54,973 --> 00:00:57,293 Speaker 3: they're really fun to make, and they have this sort 20 00:00:57,333 --> 00:01:00,693 Speaker 3: of texture enslaver really of sort of a melting moment 21 00:01:00,893 --> 00:01:04,093 Speaker 3: or maybe a shortbread almost. But they're so easy that 22 00:01:04,093 --> 00:01:07,613 Speaker 3: anyone can make them. So look, I think they will. 23 00:01:07,653 --> 00:01:10,413 Speaker 3: I think they'll brighten up your dreary days. I throw 24 00:01:10,493 --> 00:01:13,253 Speaker 3: sesame seeds or poppy seeds into mine, just because I'm 25 00:01:13,293 --> 00:01:16,173 Speaker 3: new and different, and I love the texture that it gives. 26 00:01:16,173 --> 00:01:19,053 Speaker 3: I love the flavor that it gives. You. Here you go, 27 00:01:19,133 --> 00:01:20,653 Speaker 3: this is what we need, and it's just a one 28 00:01:20,653 --> 00:01:22,013 Speaker 3: bowl wonder and you've got to love that. In the 29 00:01:22,053 --> 00:01:25,413 Speaker 3: school holidays, get your oven on one hundred and seventy 30 00:01:25,453 --> 00:01:28,573 Speaker 3: degrees and line a tray with some baking paper. You 31 00:01:28,613 --> 00:01:32,093 Speaker 3: want to beat one hundred grams of butter that's been softened, 32 00:01:32,453 --> 00:01:34,653 Speaker 3: and that's probably your hardest job at this stage with 33 00:01:34,693 --> 00:01:37,413 Speaker 3: the cold weather. Throw it in the microwave for a 34 00:01:37,453 --> 00:01:39,333 Speaker 3: bit if you've got one, just to soften it up. 35 00:01:39,613 --> 00:01:41,373 Speaker 3: And then you want to mix that with two thirds 36 00:01:41,373 --> 00:01:43,133 Speaker 3: of a cup, which is about one hundred grams of 37 00:01:43,413 --> 00:01:45,893 Speaker 3: icing sugar. And you want to whip that up really 38 00:01:45,933 --> 00:01:47,813 Speaker 3: with a hand beating. You could do it just with 39 00:01:47,893 --> 00:01:49,933 Speaker 3: a spoon or wooden spoon. You want to do it 40 00:01:49,973 --> 00:01:53,333 Speaker 3: until it's nice and pale, which means that it's you know, 41 00:01:53,373 --> 00:01:55,573 Speaker 3: that sugar will have dissolved in there. I do it 42 00:01:55,613 --> 00:01:58,173 Speaker 3: for about five minutes actually, and then add some flowers. 43 00:01:58,213 --> 00:02:01,173 Speaker 3: And I've got one cup of plain flour and one 44 00:02:01,253 --> 00:02:04,573 Speaker 3: heaped tablespoon of corn flour. I would suggest that if 45 00:02:04,573 --> 00:02:07,093 Speaker 3: you use three quarters of a cup of gluten free flour, 46 00:02:07,133 --> 00:02:09,013 Speaker 3: you'd get away with it as well. Haven't tried it, 47 00:02:09,013 --> 00:02:12,493 Speaker 3: but I'm pretty short would work. Mix that really well 48 00:02:12,533 --> 00:02:16,733 Speaker 3: together and adding in also three tablespoons of either sesame 49 00:02:16,813 --> 00:02:19,213 Speaker 3: or poppy seeds. You want to roll the mixes, and 50 00:02:19,213 --> 00:02:20,773 Speaker 3: this is the great but the kids can do all 51 00:02:20,813 --> 00:02:24,373 Speaker 3: of this. Roll the mixtures into balls kind of little, 52 00:02:24,413 --> 00:02:27,173 Speaker 3: maybe the size of a walnut, place them on a tray, 53 00:02:27,293 --> 00:02:28,933 Speaker 3: and then what you do is you press them down 54 00:02:28,933 --> 00:02:31,213 Speaker 3: with your thumb so that you make a lovely big 55 00:02:31,253 --> 00:02:34,013 Speaker 3: indent into each one. And you can't go deep enough 56 00:02:34,093 --> 00:02:37,373 Speaker 3: really with this. Bake for fifteen minutes, and then take 57 00:02:37,413 --> 00:02:39,573 Speaker 3: them out of the oven. And that's the other great thing. 58 00:02:39,613 --> 00:02:43,013 Speaker 3: Fifteen minutes is not too long for kids to manage. 59 00:02:43,053 --> 00:02:44,653 Speaker 3: And then you take them out from the oven, and 60 00:02:44,693 --> 00:02:48,253 Speaker 3: then you spoon a little teaspoon of jam or adults 61 00:02:48,333 --> 00:02:50,813 Speaker 3: like marmalade into the little hollows that you've made with 62 00:02:50,853 --> 00:02:53,653 Speaker 3: your thumb, and throw them back in the oven for 63 00:02:53,693 --> 00:02:56,973 Speaker 3: another eight to ten minutes. Call them on a wire, Iraq. 64 00:02:57,133 --> 00:03:01,693 Speaker 3: They're absolutely delicious. They'll hard enough if you like as 65 00:03:01,733 --> 00:03:03,693 Speaker 3: they call. You don't want to take these off the 66 00:03:03,733 --> 00:03:06,053 Speaker 3: tray while they still wall and they'll be too crumbly. 67 00:03:06,453 --> 00:03:08,333 Speaker 3: But they're really good. They're a good sort of way 68 00:03:08,373 --> 00:03:11,653 Speaker 3: to portion control too. You know you're you're eating of 69 00:03:11,693 --> 00:03:15,573 Speaker 3: sweet things cause they're quite little, and you know these 70 00:03:15,613 --> 00:03:18,453 Speaker 3: we've all gone for giant cookies these days, giant muffins, 71 00:03:18,453 --> 00:03:20,613 Speaker 3: all the that sort of things. So these little jam 72 00:03:20,613 --> 00:03:23,333 Speaker 3: and marmalade drops me really cute. I love them. I 73 00:03:23,373 --> 00:03:23,773 Speaker 3: love them. 74 00:03:23,933 --> 00:03:26,893 Speaker 2: Good, good for portion control unless you eat fourteen. 75 00:03:29,213 --> 00:03:31,293 Speaker 3: You got a camera in my house or something, Jack, 76 00:03:31,333 --> 00:03:32,653 Speaker 3: what's the story. 77 00:03:33,933 --> 00:03:36,253 Speaker 2: It's also it's such a good way to it's such 78 00:03:36,253 --> 00:03:38,413 Speaker 2: a good way to use up like jam and stuff. 79 00:03:38,453 --> 00:03:41,133 Speaker 2: You know, you always end up with like six different 80 00:03:41,213 --> 00:03:43,853 Speaker 2: jam containers. You're going to run whatever. 81 00:03:44,013 --> 00:03:49,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, use and marmalades because people love giving away marmonade, 82 00:03:49,093 --> 00:03:51,813 Speaker 3: but not a lot of people like marmalade. So I 83 00:03:51,853 --> 00:03:54,773 Speaker 3: could really recommend the marbolades for these. So it's really lovely. 84 00:03:54,973 --> 00:03:57,053 Speaker 3: So it was there real toss up today between school 85 00:03:57,053 --> 00:03:59,933 Speaker 3: holiday baking or some soups because the weather really gives 86 00:04:00,013 --> 00:04:02,813 Speaker 3: rise to that. 87 00:04:02,813 --> 00:04:05,773 Speaker 2: That's a great option. Yeah, perfect, Hey, thanks you so much. 88 00:04:05,893 --> 00:04:09,093 Speaker 2: We will make that recipe for Nicky's jam and marm 89 00:04:09,173 --> 00:04:11,653 Speaker 2: lade drops is up on the News Talks.

Give them the price the better, 94 00:04:20,853 --> 00:04:22,613 Speaker 2: but you know you've probably got most of those things 95 00:04:22,653 --> 00:04:24,933 Speaker 2: at home. They can get their thumb in it, and 96 00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:27,293 Speaker 2: then it only takes fifteen minutes. That's what I love 97 00:04:27,333 --> 00:04:29,413 Speaker 2: about that only takes fifteen minutes in the oven. Because 98 00:04:29,413 --> 00:04:32,613 Speaker 2: if you've got needy, anxious kids who want to get 99 00:04:32,613 --> 00:04:34,853 Speaker 2: in and enjoy it their baking very quickly, this is 100 00:04:34,853 --> 00:04:36,053 Speaker 2: the recipe for them. 101 00:04:36,453 --> 00:04:39,573 Speaker 1: For more from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame, listen live 102 00:04:39,653 --> 00:04:42,493 Speaker 1: to News Talks that'd be from nine am Saturday, or 103 00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:44,453 Speaker 1: follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
