1. Heat oven to 160C/fan 140/gas 3. Line and butter a
23 cm spring form tin. Put chocolate and butter in a
pan and melt over a very low heat. Set aside. Using an
electric whisk, beat the eggs with the sugar for about
5 mins until the mixture is thick, pale and doubled in
• 350g/12oz dark chocolate (about volume.
2. Pour the chocolate into the whisked egg mixture, then
70% cocoa solids), broken into gently, but thoroughly, fold in. Add the broken biscuits,
small pieces then gently fold again.
• 225g/8oz unsalted butter 3. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, then bake for
• 5 eggs 40-45 mins until just firm. Remove from the oven and
• 300g/10oz golden caster sugar allow to cool in the tin for about 1/2-3/4 hr. You can
serve it while still warm and the centre is still melty
(caster sugar is just as good) and gooey, as in the picture, or you can chill it (up to
• 100g/4oz butter biscuits, or butter a day ahead) and it will be firm and fudgy enough to
shortbread, broken into bitesize cut into wedges. Serve with double cream and fresh
pieces blueberries or homemade ice cream.

Abbeyfield Orpington Society is a non-profit making charity providing sheltered


accommodation for elderly residents who no longer wish to live alone. Our four
homes, located in Tower Road offer companionship, independence, security and
privacy and remove the stress of maintaining and running your own property. The
inclusive charges are very modest.
Each of our houses has a resident Housekeeper and, in their absence a relief
Housekeeper, who provides two main meals daily, as well as coffee in the lounge
mid-morning. There is always someone on hand in an emergency, 24 hours a day.
We also offer respite stays - ideal for families
that are going on holiday but are worried how their loved ones will
cope on their own.
We are not a care home and anyone with low to medium dependency
from all sectors of the community is invited to apply.

sudoku
Sudoku has become almost as popular
as the crossword as the brainteaser of 3 6 2 7 8
choice. The idea is to put one digit from
1 to 9 into each empty squares so that 6 1 4
each 3x3 block, column and row incudes
one each of all the digits from 1 to 9. 2 8 4
We’ll give you the solution next month, or
check in the online version. 6 5 1
2 8 9 3
Solution to last month’s sudoku.
Unfortunately there are no prizes
for these puzzles, just the sweet

5 6 4 1 8 2 3 7 9
satisfaction that you got it right!
