• 3 c flour
• 3 tsp baking powder
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 75g butter
• 2 cups grated cheddar and a little extra for sprinkling
• 1 ½ - 2 c milk

Preheat the oven to 180C.  Combine flour, baking powder and pepper then rub in the butter.  Stir in the cheese.  Slowly add the milk to form a dough.  Turn the dough onto a floured board and cut it into 6-8 large scones.   Put on a baking tray and spinkle with a little extra cheese.  Bake for about 20 mins or until golden.

First of all you will need to scan the supermarket isles for some interesting types of cereals (avoid the coloured sugar coated ones).

Mix in a bowl:

• About 6 cups of assorted cereals such as Nutrigrain, Chex, Cherrios
• 2 cups pretzel sticks
• ¾ cup unsalted peanuts
• ¾ cup unsalted cashew nuts
• In a separate bowl combine:
• ¼ c melted butter or margarine
• ¼ vegetable oil
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 3 tbsp Worchester sauce
• 1 tsp Tabasco sauce

Pour the liquid over the crunchy mixture and toss thoroughly to coat. Spread out in a couple of meat dishes and bake at 190 degrees for about 6 mins.  (Watch carefully – you do not want this to burn!)  Stir thoroughly and bake for another 6 mins.  When cooked, crunchy and delicious tip out onto some paper towels or absorbent paper to soak up any excess oil.  Cool and then store in airtight containers which are well hidden in the pantry.
