Katrina's Weet-Bix Slice

This is a terrific recipe that got shared in the playgroup kitchen by Katrina, one of the Mums who was sick of us repeatedly asking her for the recipe every time she made it. Not only does it use up all the broken bits at the bottom of the WeetBix packet, but its fun to make with little kids as its all about measuring and mixing.

And this is a little poem I learnt at my first cooking class when I was about six years old which I now share with my children:

First the oven,

Then the tin,

Wash your hands

And then begin!

1.5 cups crushed Weet-Bix

1 cup SR flour

1 cup sultanas

1 cup desiccated coconut

1 cup raw or brown sugar*

1 cup milk, or soymilk

1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 180•C. Mix all ingredients. Spread into a greased square cake tin and bake 30-45 mins, depending on thickness.

*The last time I made this I dropped it down to 1/2 cup of sugar but it really wasn't sweet enough. I waited til it was cool though and drizzled some lemon icing over it and it made a very nice change.
