Ingredients:
For the dough:
8 Hilltops Free Range Pastured eggs 
200g raw sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
3 tablespoons of oil (we use sunflower oil for baking)
1.5 cups of plain flour, mixed with 40g of baking powder
​
For the middle:
1 jar of raspberry jam

For the frosting:
400ml of thick cream
200g of pure icing sugar, or very finely ground raw sugar
250g, 1 packet of raspberries, washed and drained of all water droplets

Preparation:
1. Mix the eggs with the sugar, on the highest mixer speed, for at least 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
2. Add the milk, oil, and slowly add the mix of flour and baking powder, making sure there are no lumps formed in the process.
3. Butter a heart-shaped baking dish, make sure you cut out a sheet of baking paper to cover just the bottom of the mould, so that it comes off easily after baking. Pour in the dough mixture.
4. Preheat oven at 180 degrees C. Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes. Cool down fully before removing from the
​mould.

5. While the cake is cooling down, you can make the frosting. Beat the thick cream together with the icing sugar on the highest mixer speed. Add a tiny drop of red food colouring, or more if you want to make the pink more intense.

The longer you mix it, the thicker it will become. We like to make it so that it is not too liquid and stays on the cake, but it is still fluffy to the taste, and not too 'solid butter-like':

6. Remove cake from the mould, and cut it carefully in half, with the longest knife you have. 
​Spread jam on the lower half of the heart:

Cover with the second half, and press lightly together so the cake sticks well and stays together for the frosting:

 7. Spread the pink frosting evenly along the shape, and decorate with fresh raspberries on top. The cake is ready to enjoy right away!

NOTE: if you don't have a heart-shaped mould, a basic heart shape can easily be fashioned from a regular circle mould. This drawing explains how to cut the circle cake, and use the cut offs to make a heart-shaped cake.

The frosting helps to stick all the pieces together, and to 'conceal' the seams in the ready heart-shaped cake:

 5. Roll the dough into 7-8mm thickness. Cut the shapes out. (We could not find out rolling pin, and so had to use a cider can :) It works very well)
6. Heat the oven to 180°C. Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes maximum.
7. Wait until the cookies cool down, and you can decorate. My favorite one this year: the Superman design!
Enjoy! Merry Christmas!

Ingredients:
eggs
salt, pepper
butter

1. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a little salt and pepper, using a fork, until they are well blended.
2. Melt a generous knob of butter in a frying pan over a low heat and pour in the beaten eggs.
3. Cook, scraping up and turning the eggs over, for 3-5 minutes or until they are softly set and still moist. Take care not to overcook the eggs, which will continue to cook in the hot pan even after it has been removed from the heat.

Cooking tip: Tender, creamy scrambled eggs are perfect for breakfast or brunch, but you can also add flavorings for a more unusual snack or supper dish.

INGREDIENTS:
eggs
water

PREPARATION:

1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil.
   
2. Break each egg and slip it gently into the water. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes or until the eggs are cooked. 
   
3. With a slotted spoon, lift out each egg and drain on kitchen paper.
   
4. Trim the egg white to a neat shape with a knife or kitchen scissors.
   

Cooking tip: If your eggs are not really fresh, adding white wine vinegar to the poaching water will help the egg white to coagulate, although it will slightly flavor the egg. Of course, with Hilltops Free Range, your eggs are always fresh from the farm.

INGREDIENTS:
eggs
water

PREPARATION:

1. Bring a pan of water to the boil. Using a slotted spoon, lower in each egg.
   
2. Reduce the heat and the simmer for 10 minutes.
   
3. Immediately plunge the eggs into iced water: This helps prevent a grey layer from forming around the yolk. When eggs are cool enough to handle, peel away the shells.
