My mojo runneth over!!

First you need to assemble the basic ingredients.










Mix it all together with one of my lovely wooden spoons (does anyone else have a favourite wooden spoon? CK and my sister Giovanna think I am crazy!) This is actually my second fave but it is a very posh one from Williams-Sonoma.




Then add the bits that stop it all floating away.




(just in case Monkee Maker some may be confused - this is the bit you throw away.)




Once it is all hot and wetty stir this in to all the other ingredients.




Because you only have to stir for 23.8 seconds this is an opportune time to have a small break and enjoy every baker's restorative necessity!




Take a second or two to re-shape one of the secret ingredients




to look like this .....




Stir the other secret ingredient through in a gentle yet slightly haphazard kind of way.




Et voila.




Spoon it out like this.




After 15 minutes in a medium oven you should see something similar to ici.




And after half an hour you will have these delectable items .......




....... which (if sufficient pleading is exhibited) you may share with those you love.




Or not.
