What are some fun, easy, delicious recipes?

You can give me how ever many you like. Put your favorites or just fun and easy recipes. I need this because I would like to learn how to cook and/or bake some things.





P.S. I am 13.What are some fun, easy, delicious recipes?
If you want to learn to cook, you'd do best to concentrate on techniques in the kitchen. Practice frying, deep fry, shallow, meat or fish,eggs including omelette's/pancakes. Then baking is another ballgame,making pastry - all sorts. Small cakes based on sponge or rubbed in method. Decoration and fillings. I'm sorry if this sounds a bit heavy, but cooking is an art and it is one of the most fulfilling hobbies there is. To be able to feed yourself and then invite friends and family to share good times with you is a really nice thing.What are some fun, easy, delicious recipes?

Scratch Brownies


1 cup butter or margarine (melted)


2 cups white sugar


1 tsp vanilla flavoring


2 eggs


陆 cup cocoa


2 cups plain flour


optional - nuts, raisins, chocolate chunks, caramel pieces


Directions:





Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


Cream margarine and sugar. This works well with a mixer, but you can do it by hand.


After the creaming stage, do switch to a spoon for mixing. Brownies tend to get tough if worked too much.


Add the vanilla and eggs and mix just until smooth.


Pour in cocoa and flour. Again, mix until smooth and lumps are broken up. But, don't go to wild on the mixing.


If you want to add extras, just fold those in easily.


Bake for 18-20 minutes in 2 pans size 8 inches by 8 inches. You can use a larger pan like the 9 x 9 and cook for a little longer-25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. If you use a single pan, then the Scratch Brownies are thicker.
Im 15 and i like baking, the things i like baking are shortbread and a cake.





Shortbread





Ingredients


125g/4oz butter


55g/2oz caster sugar


180g/6oz plain flour





Method


1. Heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.


2. Beat the butter and the sugar together until pale.


3. Stir in the flour to get a smooth paste. Turn on to a work surface and gently roll out until the paste is 1cm/陆in thick.


4. Cut into rounds or fingers and sprinkle with a little extra caster sugar. Put on a baking sheet and chill for 20 minutes. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until pale golden. Cool on a wire rack.





Victoria sponge cake





Ingredients


For the cake


250g/9oz unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing


250g/9oz golden caster sugar


4 free-range eggs


1 tsp vanilla extract


250g/9oz self-raising flour


For the butter cream


250g/9oz icing sugar


125g/4oz unsalted butter, softened


2 tsp hot water


1 tsp ground cinnamon


To serve


250g/9oz good raspberry jam


icing sugar, for dusting





Method


1. Preheat the oven to 180C/360F/Gas 4.


2. For the cake, grease two 23cm/9in spring-form cake tins and line with baking parchment.


3. Whisk the butter and the sugar in a bowl, using an electric whisk, until light and creamy for about five minutes(the mixture should be almost white in colour).


4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating constantly until completely combined before adding the next egg. If the mixture starts to curdle you can rescue it by sprinkling in a tablespoon or so of the flour.


5. Add the vanilla extract and fold in the flour.


6. Divide the mixture between the two cake tins and place into the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Test the cake is cooked by inserting a metal skewer into the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean the cake is cooked.


7. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for five minutes, then remove the cakes from the tins and leave to cool on a wire rack.


8. Meanwhile, for the butter cream, place the icing sugar, softened butter and hot water into a clean bowl. Mix well until completely combined and creamy.


9. Add the cinnamon and mix well.


10. To serve, trim the top off one of the cakes to make a level surface.


11. Spread the raspberry jam over the top of the levelled cake surface, then cover the jam with a layer of the butter cream.


12. Sandwich the second cake on the top and press down lightly.


13. Dust the top of the cake with icing sugar and serve in generous slices
