Hey guys my name's Olivia and if you don't know me from my channel I run a
channel called HeyOlivia and this is where I post videos about uni and I'm
getting on and give advice for prospective students I'm really excited
to have been given the opportunity to post a video here on the book break
channel I myself am a student at Bristol University and I know how hard the
transition from being at home to uni can be and one of the main struggles I had
was learning how to cook for yourself and on a budget I think as a student
it's very tempting to buy write emails and all this cheap food which just isn't
that great for you and also to just skip meals like breakfast you tend to just
run out the door without even thinking about eating luckily there are loads of
awesome cookbooks out there and I wanted to talk about one today and this is tiny
budget cooking by Lamar small I think it's a really common misconception that
as a student you can't eat well and it's too expensive and this book completely
disproves that and provides you with really useful easy to make recipes one
thing I love about this book also is that it has really helpful meal plans so
you can literally plan out your meals at the start of the week and follow it
along and you'll know exactly how much you need to buy so it's really easy to
budget or so many recipes I could have chosen from but I've chosen to breakfast
recipes to show you guys because I think breakfast hang up very boring as a
student it's very tempting to just keep eating the same cereal I've chosen the
apple crumble granola and also the chocolate chip breakfast scones really
hope you guys enjoy this video and get to learn two really tasty recipes that
you can make at uni and if you want to check out more I definitely recommend
getting this book so the first recipe I'm going to be showing you how to make
is the breakfast crumble with apple and honey
and I think this is an excellent recipe because you can make the granola part of
the recipe the night before and then add really whatever you'd like to add but
I'm just going to show you one of the combinations are shown in the book so to
meet the granola you're going to need 150 to 200 grams of dried fruit and nut
mixture you're also going to need 400 grams of porridge oats 3/4 a teaspoon of
salt 170 milliliters of honey or any chosen syrup of choice I've chosen to go
with golden syrup and 2 grams of sugar 120 milliliters of vegetable oil and 1
teaspoon of vanilla essence so the first thing we're going to do is combine all
our dry mixture together so that's the 400 grams of porridge oats and dried
fruit and nuts using them and you also want to add this
mixture 3/4 of a teaspoon of salt and then just mix that all together the next
thing we want to do is make the wet part of the ingredients so that we're going
to add 100 grams of sugar and then we're also going to add 120 milliliters of
vegetable oil then we're also going to add 170 milliliters of your chosen syrup
mine is golden like I said earlier and then what you want to do is just keep
mixing it until the mixture starts
so now what you want to do is just spread your dry mixture over a tea tray
and then you just want to pour your syrup all over and you just want
everything to be nice and evenly coated as I said earlier the nice thing about
this recipe is it's really versatile so I've chosen to use almond extract and
it's made it tastes a lot like a Bakewell tart it's pretty good you want
to place it in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes and start after 10 minutes
and also after 20
so now we're moving on to the topic of the granola and what I've done is I've
just chopped up an apple the recipe calls for three but obviously if you're
just one person one it's more than enough and the nice thing about this
recipe like I said is you can have any topping because you can prepare the
granola months in advance if you want to do because it keeps for so long so you
just want to have them all a similar size so that they cook evenly so now
what you want to do is you just want to add the apples to a saucepan eating them
up is just going to help soften them and then to that you want to add three
tablespoons of water and then you also want to add a tablespoon of syrup
I'm gonna add a little bit of cinnamon to it because I love cinnamon and Apple
it's one of my favorite combinations so the Pramila is ready and it looks so
good and you can tell it's ready because it kind of goes bit darker Brown and the
reason start to swap and it smells really good so this is ready to serve so
I'm gonna put some in a bowl and then I'm gonna add to that some of our
Delicious apple and cinnamon mixture and the recipe also says that it's really
good with a dollop of yogurt so that is what I'm gonna do make it a bit more
breakfast tea I'm gonna try it out so I'm not lying to you guys so rub so nice
recipe I really wanted to show you guys it's the Chocolate Chunk breakfast going
and this is perfect if you've got a bit of a sweet tooth like me again this is a
really easy recipe you can prepare the night before because you can make a
batch and then freeze it and you can add whatever you like on top of the scone so
they're really really easy to make so what you're going to need is 250 grams
of self-raising flour 50 grams of dark chocolate 50 grams of caster sugar 50
grams of butter 100 millilitres of whole milk and 50 milliliters of whipping
cream so I've just added 250 grams of self-raising flour in the bowl and I'm
now going to add about 50 grams of caster sugar and then you also want to
add that 50 grams of dark chocolate I'm just gonna chop them up small so they're
easier to incorporate but you can have them whatever size you want pour
chocolate chips are probably work for you are too
then you just want to mix this all together combining all the ingredients
so we're going to add 50 grams of butter to a saucepan and then just heat that
over a low heat so it doesn't burn and now that's heated we want to add 100
milliliters of whole milk and also 50 milliliters of whipping cream and then
just don't be heat that all together and then what you want to do is just pour
over this mixture that you've just melted and add it to your dry
ingredients and then you just want to mix that together and then eventually it
should form a dough which you can need so one thing I've noticed is that
because I've just added a hot mixture to the flour the chocolate chips are
missing a little bit so if you want a chocolate swirls go do it this move if
not wait for it to cool down and then you want to take your dough out just
roll around in the flour a little bit just so it's easier to manage and you
want to need that for about a minute
and then what you want to do now is just roll it out till about four centimeters
thick I think and then what I like to do is I like to just use a glass because
then you can just make sure your skies are all about the same size but you can
do as you wish Wireless usually put the glass in
and then you want to place these into an oven that's been preheated at 180
degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden
so this is the chocolate chip breakfast scone and as I said you who make these
of the night before and then all you have to do is just add your topping of
choice that was the video I really hope you guys enjoyed thank you so much for
