As a follow up to the beetles thread. As in what is actually in factory made food and food colourings etc.
What did you make at home???
I'll start.

3 cups SR flour
1/2 tspoon of salt
2 cups warm water.
thats the base recipe.
I added mixed herbs, garlic and onion granules to the mix and put cheese and bacon on top.
the dough is quite sticky, just pour it from the bowl into the cooker lined with baking paper
cook on high for 1 3/4 hours.
you can pop it under the grill for a few minutes if you want the top browner

Does anyone have a good recipe for quiche? Mine never seem to rise, maybe I put too much into them

I have a really nice one kabarine and I will put it here in photos because it's stuck in my recipe journal and it will save me the typing. If you can't read it I will type it out if you're interested.
It says it's a tart but it is really a quiche. It is a really good one to take to a 'bring a plate' type party as it looks pretty special.
For our American friends, bring a plate means take a dish or a salad to an occasion. It confused us when we first came to Australia. My mum and dad were invited to a get together and mum was told to bring a plate. She was a bit embarrassed when she turned up to the party with a couple of empty plates but I'm sure it caused a laugh.
I've made this one a couple of times and it's yummy.
