Nigella's granola

• 25g butter
• 250g plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 25g caster sugar
• 2 eggs
• 0g milk
• 0 Sunflower oil
• 0 Baking powder
• 0 Five-grain kruska
• 1 tbsp wholewheat grains
• 1 tbsp whole millet
• 1 tbsp whole oats
• 1 tbsp whole rye
• 1 tbsp whole barley
• 250g hot water
• 1 tbsp wheat germ
• 1 tbsp wheat
• 2 tbsp raisins
• 0 Milk
• 450g rolled oats
• 120g sunflower seeds
• 120g white sesame seeds
• 175g apple juice
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger
• 120g golden syrup
• 4 tbsp runny honey
• 100g light brown sugar
• 250g whole natural almonds
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• 300g raisins

Step 1
Sugar and a pinch of salt.

Step 2
Break the eggs into the flour (sifted beforehand).

Step 3
Melt the butter in a pan, then start adding the milk to the flour mixture, beating it as you go, slowly adding the rest of the milk and the melted butter, ending up with a thick creamy batter.

Step 4
Now rub the frying pan with oil (you don't really need to regrease the pan once you've got going) and then drop in a dollop of batter, which should spread out to about the size of the back of your hand.

Step 5
Let the bottom turn a lovely honey colour, then flip over with a spatula: you may miss the fireworks of flipping pancakes but if you prefer breakfast a little more low-key you'll love drop scones.

Step 6
We put the plate of scones down and 30 seconds later the entire lot have disappeared.

Step 7
Put the wholewheat grains, the millet, oats, rye and barley into a food processor until coarsely ground.

Step 8
Put them into a flameproof casserole, pour in the hot water and leave overnight.

Step 9
In the morning, preheat the oven to 150C (300F, gas mark 2).

Step 10
Bring the mixture to the boil, and add the wheat germ or oat germ and bran, and the sultanas.

Step 11
Put it in the oven and bake for 30 minutes: it should be thick but not gooey - you can add more hot water if it's too thick.

Step 12
Serve with hot or cold milk, or cream, or some honey if you like.

Step 13
Preheat the oven to 170C (340F, gas mark 3) and then mix everything (except the raisins) in a big bowl.

Step 14
Then spread on to two baking tins and bake for 40 minutes to an hour, taking it out to give it a gentle stir and turn half way through.
