Sullington Windmills WI

So today is Anzac Day and as promised I have again been making biscuits. 

I have followed the recipe from the South Australian Country Women's Association and the results are pretty tasty.

If you like the overcooked, crispy edges of a flapjack then you will love these.

The recipe is really easy; basically dry ingredients placed in one bowl, melt the remaining ingredients, mix the two parts together, form into balls and then bake. What could be more simple?

I followed the recipe and weighed out balls of 32g each. However, I did not get the promised 35 biscuits. I made only 20, quite large cookie-sized biscuits. When I make them next time I will make them smaller, maybe 20g each.

These would be great to make with kids as they are so simple and the baking powder with the melted butter and golden syrup mixture creates a foaming in the pan like a science experiment, which kids will love.

Enjoy your biscuits in remembrance of all the fallen ANZACs.

** NEXT MONTH**

In May we have some visitors coming to our monthly meeting and will therefore be providing them with some homemade treats.

We will be making "Grannies Quick Sponge". I have added the recipe to the May meeting entry in the Events calendar. Please bake a cake, but only bring it along to the May meeting if you have already agreed this with Liz (as we don't want too many!).

Mimi promised us an uplifting and stimulating session and that's what she delivered.

A really interesting and thought-provoking talk, which I am sure all of us benefited from in some way.

We learnt how to discard and declutter our clothes as well as how to try and avoid making impulse and mistake purchases. She talked about the importance of having clothes that "feel like me" and knowing what your "uniform" is.

We also saw demonstrations of how best to store and fold your clothes so that you can see everything that you have, including your pants!

One of the points that will stay with me is that you really should embrance your own style and feel comfortable with what you want to wear.

What a lovely time we had at the annual Spring Lunch. 

A large group of Sullington Windmills ladies met at the West Sussex Golf Club for a social afternoon with a very delicious two-course lunch plus coffee.

Sat across four tables the ladies were able to talk and eat for a few hours whilst enjoying the company and atmosphere.

It was a good opportunity to relax and get to know ladies that you don't always have time to talk to at the usual monthly meetings. 

We even had time for a raffle!

Thank you to everyone who donanted a prize and to those ladies who helped to organise the event.
