I made millionaire's shortbread at the weekend for craft club, using this recipe: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/11522/millionaires-shortbread

I was intrigued by the way the toffee thickens - I was expecting to have to boil it up like when making fudge, but it thickens as soon as it heats up, where it's touching the pan, in the same way white sauce or gravy do.

Banana cake
http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/8729/easy-banana-cake.aspx
Very easy way to use up leftover bananas (I only like them when they're still a bit green )

I was going to make banana bread today as we have a bunch of black bananas that need using up, but I haven't got round to it. Instead I'll make a banana crumble to go after my mushroom and ale pie that I'll be baking in a bit

Like I made apple crumble too - hurrah for fruit bowls going past their best. I'll definitely be trying mushroom and ale pie though, sounds lovely!

 

[mr steev]

I have high hopes for the pie, although I've never made a mushroom and ale one before and I'm not particularly following a recipe... but it's got ale in it so that's a good start

Glad it worked for you, and the bread looks lovely.

Last weekend I made millionaire's shortbread for craft club. I was intrigued by how the toffee thickens up as if it were white sauce or gravy - I was expecting to have to boil it down like fudge.
This week I made a victoria sponge to take to work, which was all gone by 10:30.

I seen Bluestreak make it on River Cottage and thought, jeez is it that easy. So it's this one http://www.rivercottage.net/recipes/classic-soda-bread/

It is REALLY easy, and tasty too.

I made chapatti pizza last night with home made chapatti dough.

Surprisingly good

Did some gluten free, dairy free chocolate cookies on Saturday that went down very well amongst the gluten free and dairy free diet folks they were served to on Sunday, as well as the gut buckets like me who can hoover up about anything. I was pretty pleased with the results.

Onto a lovely loaf recipe at the moment.
600 grams of spelt flour
200 grams of semolina flour
200 grams of granary flour
Pint of tepid water
1 oz of good quality honey
1 oz of live yeast (Getting mine from Morrisons in the butter isle atm)
Good handful of salt

Mix the honey, water and yeast in a jug and let is sit for a wee while.

Mix the flour together and work in the yeast mix and kneed the fuck outta the mofo.

Cut the dough into 7 evenly shaped balls. Make one a bit bigger though. Roll the balls in corn flour or semolina.

Pop the balls in a cake tin in like a flower shape and leave it to rise under a wet tea towel for about an 40 mins to 1 hour in the airing cupboard and then bang it in the oven until it's cooked.

Will pop a pic up of my last one when my blue tooth starts playing again.

Toptastic loaf. The spelt really does make this one rise nicely.

I'd be looking at June to organise/host one... but could combine it with a trip to pick your own place

Made my 2nd soda bread this w/end, this time brown, bloody lovely again. And again, I cannot believe it is that easy to make this type of bread

 

[Numbers]

Bit anal the way I take photos of the food we cook, but I swear to myself we're gonna write a cookery book one day. Even if it's a single copy self publish, we're definitely gonna do it.

 

[crustychick]

soda bread's amazing isn't it I made some for Paddy's Day and was just stunned by how easy and delicious it was - we made four loaves! must do it again soon too...

 

[RubyToogood]

I made rolls from an out of date pack of Lidl rye breadmix which turned out like baby canonballs and went straight in the bin.
