2/11 Pumpkin Soup and Scout Bread

11 MEAL PROJECT - 2/11

RORY’S SCOUT BREAD

Oven. 200C


In a big bowl mix

3 cup flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

Pour in one of Dads favourite

330ml can/stubbie of beer

Rinse out the bottle with water and add to mix. (Brings it to about 400mls total liquid).


Mix well. Tip into greased loaf tin.


Grate and sprinkle over

1/2 cup cheese (Optional)

Bake for 50-60 mins.

Yummy hot. Toasts well. Doesn’t work with stout or low alcohol beer (what use is low alcohol beer to a scout? Gotta be prepared!)





(Under 6 YRS) PUMPKIN SOUP

If I go to the trouble of chopping up any pumpkin I do the whole thing, then roast the pieces with skin on. We eat what we need that night, and the rest I leave in the oven.The next day (theoretically) when I open the oven and discover it again, I easily peel the skin off and throw together this soup. Butternuts are easiest as they only need to be halved and the garlic/oil floated in the middle. Life is too short and fingers too precious to peel pumpkin raw.
