Donna Donna Donna! Yes Ms Hay is everywhere and lucky for us. What I mean by that is that Donna now has a range of cookie, cake, brownie and macaron mixes that you can get at the supermarket! And even though I don't often use packet mixes I will use hers as the ingredients are just what I'd use at home if I had the time.
Firstly there's the classic Donna Hay molten chocolate chunk brownie which is just heaven and gives you the right amount of gooeyness under the crispy layer on top. Then there is the classic vanilla cupcake as well as the classic chocolate cupcake complete with frosting. Lastly there is the item that has vexed everyone-the macaron! Yes she has an almond macaron mix with chocolate filling (which I'm yet to try). Could this finally be the foolproof macaron mix? In her mixes there are no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and all you need to add are eggs, butter or milk. Also on the boxes are clever little ideas like adding fresh or frozen raspberries on top of the brownie mixture in case you feel like adding a bit more sparkle.
Thanks* to Donna Hay, five lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will win a pack containing all four delicious and easy to bake mixes!
