Sugarveil – A How To… Part 2

Removing from the Mat

First up lay a sheet of non-stick baking paper just over twice the size of the mat on the worksurface. I have done it directly onto the worktop which resulted in the sheet sticking to it like glue, after all that hard work you don’t need that!

Ingredients:

220g butter

110g caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

340g plain flour

Raspberry Caramel (recipe here)

Makes 18.

Raspberry Caramel

Posted on August 9, 2012 by The Pink Whisk

- think of the endless possibilities – drizzled over icecream, profiteroles, Jammy Dodgers , eaten from the spoon (did I really just say that?!) This raspberry caramel is completely delicious!

Ingredients:

300g caster sugar

75ml water

120g raspberries

approx 75ml double cream

100g butter

Start off with the raspberries – Fresh ones I’ve found will give you more puree and the reddest colour caramel but frozen ones aren’t bad either if that’s all you have.

If you hadn’t already heard, as a result of the campaign and our efforts, the Prime Minister is holding a hunger summit on the 12^th August, we are hoping he will lead the biggest ever push to tackle world hunger.
