Delicio Recipe List

It's not a great picture, but this is my homemade Chocolate Buttercream Icing. It's an old recipe, but a goof proof one, which is good for me!!! It seems like a recipe gone bad after adding all the sugar. The icing is very dry, but after adding the milk, it whips right up into the perfect spreading consistency!  � cup solid vegetable shortening � cup (1stick) butter, softened � cup cocoa 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (Powdered Sugar) 3-4 tablespoons milk In large bowl, cream shortening and butter with electric mixer. Add cocoa and vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep bowl covered with a damp cloth until ready to use.

Wondering what to post next I searched my repertoire vigorously and with the hottest day so far in the U.K I found this great recipe that I once used In the Officers mess for 4/7 Dragoon guards during a very hot summer. For a non pacific dinner when I say that every dinner was a special occasion, dinner was at 7pm every night and the officers had to wear their best uniform i.e No 1's which included chain mail and spurs and once dinner commenced they were unable to leave the table or they would be fined 1 bottle of Champagne at quite a hefty price but to be honest money was no object to these guys they were all born with silver spoons in their mouths. That,s enough of that this is a wonderfully light summery dish and refreshing so here it is.   Ingredients Chocolate orange truffle cake 200g 70% dark chocolate 250g unsalted butter, softened 350g light brown sugar 5 free range medium eggs, lightly beaten 140g plain flour, sieved 5ml vanilla extract 5ml Cointreau (optional) Zest of...
