Recipe for making your own Sugar Mouse

Making sugar mice is both easy and difficult. Difficult because the icing sugar gets up your nose - when it goes through the sieve - and easy because there are only 3 or 4 ingredients.

• Find: 1 egg
  450grams icing sugar
  food colouring
  string for a tail

Separate the white of the egg from the yolk. (You don't need the yolk for this recipe so put it away and use it later in a cake!)

Beat the white until frothy - don't let it get stiff.

Sieve the icing sugar into the egg white - you might not need all of the 450grams - as egg sizes vary - so be careful not to add too much.

You are looking for a stiff mixture when the egg white and icing sugar mix up together - but not dry and powdery.

If you wish add a few drops of food colouring as you mix.

Do be careful - food colouring is quite strong and you will only need a little. Then knead the mixture into a firm paste and divide - you might get 12 mouse size pieces.

Make a mouse - that up to you how to do that - remember to add a tail and to push it in and squeeze the icing around it so it won't fall off !!!

Place your beautiful mouse on to parchment paper or silicon paper on a tray - and leave to dry in a safe cool place.

You can decorate your mouse/mice with all sorts of things for eyes - silver cake balls - or - well, use your imagination.

To keep them safe once the have dried put them into an airtight container.

Don't forget to photograph them and send in a picture!

Don't forget CHEESE !!!

To start off the recipes here is:

CHEESE ON TOAST

First the toast --- Use Good bread not white - be kind to your body and eat Brown Bread Use a toaster or a grill - gently crispen the bread until golden - Black is not a colour you should see. If this happens scrape the black off and pretend you meant to do that anyway.

Stand the slice of (now) Toast, so it hardens a little - don't lay it on a plate - it will go all soggy from the steam which is the moisture in the bread evaporating ---(bit of a science note there)

Any-way have your grated cheese ready (you should have done this before you put on the bread to become Toast -- (you should be organized in the kitchen - see how everything is always in place and ready when you watch TV cook programmes - well you should be like that - GET EVEYTHING READY!)

TOP TIP - smear a little sun-dried tomato paste onto the toast (you can put it down on the plate now) and then sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Make sure you keep the sprinkling to the toast not all over the work-unit as this is both a waste and if you have cats a great way to train them to eat off the kitchen work-units - which is a good trick but not wanted now in this day and age since TV has come along.

So back to the toast.

Now re-place it under the grill --WARNING - DO NOT PUT IT IN THE TOASTER -- in fact best not to use toasters at all in case you get into a muddle and find you have made this awful mistake -- I will say again -- DON'T use a TOASTER!!!

OK - good - now everything under control - please do not wander away and forget that the cheese on toast is warming up -- you will get a reminder if you have a fire alarm - but it is better to waste a bit of your life and stand by the grill and watch the cheese melt and then bubble (which is quite entertaining if you lead a quiet life)

Once the cheese is turning brown then the CHEESE on TOAST is ready -- if you have black toast around the cheese - then technically you have failed - if you were taking an exam in this -- but if you are just a bit hungry then it will do.

Please be good about the way you eat the cheese on toast - put in on a plate and sit at a table with a nice cup of tea (you should have made that before) DON’T wander about the house dropping crumbs and not paying attention to you lovely meal --

-- That is just NOT the correct way to EAT CHEESE ON TOAST
