What are you baking?

Ohhh exciting! You can practice on the back of a plate and reuse the icing, so long as it doesn't dry.

Practise and reuse = top tips, thank you

Not baking exactly, but the 2022 marmalade batch is complete.

Blackberry and choc chip chocolate muffins. Just had to test one. Phwoar.

Used a cinnamon bun recipe to use up some home made mincemeat left over from Christmas.

Had to check they were done, obv.

My daughter's coming home for a couple of days and so I've made hot cross buns for breakfast. I used tangzhong method and they are so soft and fluffy. Can't wait to try one.

Now update the photo so we can check they are all still there!
I don't normally eat them but could certainly be tempted by those.

I keep meaning to give milk rolls using that method a try, someone posted a recipe a while back and I've saved it ready for when I have the time/inclination!

They didn't last long! Once back from the station the hoards descended and snaffled them up.

Here's the recipe for the milk rolls using the tangzhong method in case anyone is interested, I can imagine it would make fantastic hot cross buns (or non-denominational year round fruit-and-spices buns of any sort) too.

Thanks to whoever posted it in the first place - I can't recall who or in which thread to give credit and the search function is not helping, but I had the recipe saved and it includes the tangzhong instructions which should be easy enough for anyone familiar with making a roux to follow

More buns. These are even better than last time. I doubled the mix and still made a dozen, so we have proper fat ones.

The baking stakes seem high this Easter.
I have my kids over on Sunday.
Going to make olive and pepper bread. Plus some sort of apple pudding with pastry or possibly cake.

They look incredible Saffy - very professional

If you have a hob to oven suitable dish, tarte tatin would be a very tasty apple/pastry classic

(With some vanilla ice-cream or non dairy substitute, especially if this gorgeous weather holds!)

Yeah. Cram the pastry full of butter. A little fresh custard under the apple.

I wanted to be have something that wasn’t a shop bought pastry for work breakfast tomorrow so I scrounged up some blackberries from the freezer and made scones for first time.

 

[clicker]

Stuck inside, it's blowing a hooley, so cheese bread.
I've been salivating over the pudding thread, but love them all, so cheese bread.

 

[Orang Utan]

Something called vatrushka - a Russian pastry that’s sort of similar to a custard Danish, but with cream cheese (mascarpone) and raspberries. I made twelve of them but only one survived to take a pic of.
