Cheesy jackets

Today in catering I made a flapjack with chocolate chips, and, first of all, a new idea was thought into the head today. To make two minature jacket potatoes filled with cheese and sweetcorn, with cheese sprinkled on the top. They were delicious. If you'd like to make them yourself, here's how:

Two Miniature jacket potatoes filled with cheese & sweetcorn, layered with cheese on top

You will need:

1 jacket potato

1 knife to cut them in half

A microwave

A small bowl

A fork and a teaspoon

Selection of flavours: grated cheese, corned beef, sweetcorn, onion...

What to do:

1. Take a piece of kitchen roll (or hand towel) and a jacket potato

2. Put in fork holes at either side of the jacket potato, cover it with the hand towel/kitchen roll

3. Put in the microwave for 5 minutes (it will come out hot, so you'll need a small bowl to put it in)

4. Unwrap it from the hand towel/kitchen roll piece and cut it in half.

5. Holding it in with the hand towel, scrape out the filling of each of the pieces of jacket potato and put the filling in a bowl.

6. Mash it up with a fork (well).

7. Select your flavour, put it in the bowl with the potato filling you scraped out earlier and mash it up so it's well mixed.

8. Put the pieces of jacket potato (the shells in other words) in a plastic silver tin while you put in the filling you mashed up with your selected flavour (for example, I chose cheese and sweetcorn)

9. Make sure you pat it down flat so it won't overflow or drop out

10. Sprinkle a bit of grated cheese on top of each of the jacket potatoes, covering the mashed up filling you put in five seconds ago

11. Put in the oven for 20 minutes on 75*c (gas mark 5 I guess), then leave to stand on the baking tray until cool enough to collect to eat.

Now follow up flapjack recipe: (I got the wrong flapjack in the end though).

You will need:
*Brown sugar
*Honey or golden syrup
*butter or margarine
*Scales
*A bowl
*An oven
*Chocolate chips (depending if you want them in)
*Porridge oats

Method:

1. Weigh out 1oz butter into the bowl (make sure the scales are on 0 before doing so)

2. Then weigh out 1oz brown sugar also, then put in the golden syrup or honey (as much of it as you require)

3. Microwave it for 1 minute so it's like a runny mixture

4. Mix it well.

5. Add in the porridge oats, followed by the chocolate chips, and mix well.

6. Once all mixed, pour it all into a silver tin (start off with half of it then gradually tip it all in)

7. Flatten it down so there's no lumps with a back of a spoon

8. Put it in the oven for 30 minutes, gas mark 4 (I think), 175*c

9. Leave to stand on a baking tray and make sure it's completely cool before collecting

10. Eat it
