Truth Universally Acknowledged

The title of this blog is an obvious reference to my favourite author, Jane Austen. My other great inspiration is Ella Fitzgerald. I intend this site to be general musings about things which interest me, and hopefully you as well.

Name:
Location: Auckland, New Zealand

I'm a girl in her twenties living in New Zealand - of Irish and Scottish descent. I'm married to a wonderful guy and we live in a tiny house in the suburbs with a menagerie of soft toys and model aircraft. My main occupations at the moment are attempting to become and author and surviving my day job... wish me luck!

Recipe: Chocolate Caramel Square

This is absolutely delicious. One of those treats you shouldn't make too often because you know you'll want to eat more of it than you should.

Cream 4 oz/125 g butter and 4 oz/125 g sugar. Add 1 egg, then 1 1/2 cups of flour, 2 tablespoons of custard powder, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Divide the shortcake in two. Press half into a biscuit baking tin.

For the filling, melt together 3 oz butter, 1/2 tin condensed milk, 2 tablespoons of golden syrup, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Pour over the base. Sprinkle with small bits of the remaining shortcake mixture.

Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 20-30 minutes. Once baked, make chocolate icing* and spread over the square. Cut into servings once set. Yum!

* Mix 2 teaspoons margarine/butter, 2 dessertspoons cocoa powder, a little boiling water and enough icing sugar to make a smooth consistency.
