What are you baking?

They look lovely, but I can hear my blood sugar saying "You bloody dare!"

Funny you should say that, I was thinking if the boyfriend was here, he'd accuse me of an attempt on his life!

You have got to love a cake that has its own tripadvisor page! And its name - "sports" is not exactly what springs to mind after a google image search
Wouldn't mind visiting Copenhagen so thanks for the tip.

oh hush
half of the fat actually - the rest is butter

 

[Orang Utan]

I asked the maid in dulcet tone
To order me a buttered scone;
The silly girl has been and gone
And ordered me a buttered scone

How to make the perfect scone

It's a quintessential part of the British way of life, and it's under threat. Felicity Cloake sets out in search of the perfect recipe for scones. Join the cause, for if it vanishes, it's scone forever ...

Yeah, don’t post up recipes for “scones” using lard. They’re scones like pizzas using cauliflower instead of a pizza base are pizzas.

no it isn't - it's just fat. they will look like scones and taste like scones. The recipe is from a National Trust book ffs!

you can also make scones with buttermilk and sour cream

Might make some bacon shortbread too just to annoy you, danny la rouge

 

[existentialist]

If there are scones out there with stealth lard in them, I'm going to suddenly become a lot more cautious about casual scone-eating. It's something I've never heard of, and I am repulsed by the idea!

Chutney! Cake. Christmas pudding. Mincemeat. Flavoured booze. I've a recipe for apple and lemon curd somewhere too that looks nice but I've never made.

Chutney might be a goer, if I can get OH to be out for the time it needs - there's an intense dislike for that sort of cooking ...
Apple cakes - will look that up.
Possible I might end up with apple n ginger jam.

I've been making lots of curries recently, so I thought I'd try making naan bread, seeing as the supermarket ones are so disappointing. They turned out well, not as good as the pillowy deliciousness I get from my local curry house, but they have a special oven

Rhubarb crumble muffins. I have high hopes

 

[pinkmonkey]

Gonna try some ready made gluten free puff pastry - I'd normally make my pastry with spelt (it's wheat gluten that I'm intolerant to - spelt gluten is ok) but making it from scratch takes too long for me to do atm. I'm not expecting much. I'm making my usual sausage rolls, I use Iceland frozen vegan sausages, because they don't have wheat in and they make awesome sausage rolls, they have lots of beetroot in them. I usually smear something on the inside of the pastry - either mango chutney or caramelised onion chutney, then put sesame and poppy seeds on the outside.

I was gonna do this last weekend but then I realised I didn't have time for it to prove. I learnt some curry skills from a friend who used to work in a curry house. I've watched him make chapatis, he boshes a few out whilst making a keema 'oh that'll be easy' I thought, but mine were absolutely shit, worst kitchen disaster I've ever had.

Made a tray of parkin to take to my mum. The house smells so lovely now.

I'm gearing up to make a pumpkin (crown prince squash) and almond pie.

I've roasted the pumpkin with crushed nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and brown sugar.

For the pumpkin custard filling it will include eggs and condensed milk and ground almonds and a touch of ammeretto. Im very loosely following a recipe.....

 

[kalidarkone]

Here it is and its delicious

Cheese, walnut and poppyseed baps
