Читать книгу The Official Narnia Cookbook - Литагент HarperCollins USD, Ю. Д. Земенков, Koostaja: Ajakiri New Scientist - Страница 6

We asked the millions of fans of The Chronicles of Narnia on our Facebook page to bring the magic of Narnia to life in their own kitchens with the Narnia Food and Feasts recipe contest 2013. From Edmund’s Turkish Delight to Mr. Tumnus’s sugar-topped cake, they took inspiration from the stories, characters, and events of The Chronicles of Narnia and let their imagination run wild. Here is our winning recipe by Gill Bland.

Mrs. Beaver’s Marmalade Roll-on-the-Run

If you’re being chased by wolves and a white witch, these scone-like rolls are sturdy enough to be wrapped up and popped into a sack with a packet of tea so that you can eat them on the go with a hot brew. They are deliciously sticky and will give you plenty of energy for the journey. If, however, you are able to take your time, Mrs. Beaver recommends serving them warm with hot brandy sauce because it’s important to have a taste of Christmas whenever you can—especially when you’ve lived through years of it being always winter and never Christmas.

230 g (1 cup) plain flour

5 g (1 tsp.) baking powder

Pinch of salt

30 g (2 tbs.) butter

55 g (1/4 cup) caster or fine sugar

Approximately 140 ml (1/2 cup) milk

Marmalade

Preheat the oven to 450°F/230°C/Gas Mark 8. Put the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add the sugar, mix, then add a little milk at a time, combining until you have a stiff dough. Press the dough out into a rectangle. Spread the marmalade over it. Roll up along the longer edge. Using a very sharp knife, cut into slices about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Place each roll on its side in a greased muffin tin (this helps hold it together). Bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
