What are you baking?

My favourite comment on facebook about said cake (amidst the general cries of 'uggh, no') was 'what a waste of precious pasta!'

 

[Saffy]

Not very pretty but they taste good.
We normally meet as a family on Good Friday with a dozen buns each and vote for whose are the best.

 

[Maggot]

Yours look very professional compared to mine Saffy . My excuse is it was my first attempt. They also taste good too. Many thanks to iona for the yeast.

 

[Saffy]

They look delicious. I love them with butter and cheese.

Cheese?

 

[Saffy]

Yeah, it's that sweet savoury thing. Delish!

Where does pasta come into it?

 

[blairsh]

Jealous of all your baking escapades



That is all

Where does pasta come into it?

I assumed there was some cannellini confusion...

as iona said. her reaction on being corrected was 'oh, that's just wrong'

 

[RubyToogood]

Ahhhhh.

A day late, but here's mine

 

[Saffy]

They look good killer b.
I've just made a swiss roll so I can make a trifle for tomorrow. First time since school I reckon.

 

[BoatieBird]

That's very impressive Saffy

I made a coffee and walnut cake today.
Didn't have any icing sugar for the buttercream so I blitzed some caster sugar in the food processor.
The result is slightly crunchy, but that won't stop me eating it.

Banana bread with chocolate chips. I could only get gluten-free flour, which I've never used before, so it's a bit dense and chewy, but tastes lovely.

I have the same matryoshka cups

I made pies last night, I only had a very small amount of plain flour left so used mostly self-raising - it worked out ok. I am going to make lemon curd/marmalade tarts later with the remains of the pastry but I forgot to put it in the fridge last night so I'm hoping it will turn out ok, it was a bit kind of melty-looking when I found it - I am chilling it now.

 

[Epona]

^ Update - the lemon curd tarts were fine, pastry was still ok despite having sat out on the counter in full on sunshine all day despite looking a bit odd after having had all the fat in it melt and then be chilled again - I probably wouldn't have wanted to use it for a large pastry item as it wasn't perfect, but for mini lemon curd tarts as an evening snack while still warm from the oven it was fine

This is like one of those scenes from An Extra Slice - here are my mum's perfect bunny rabbits ,

and here are mine...

 

[Saffy]

I love it! I bet they'll taste good though!

Putting the hot and cross in the bunny! But yes, they were tasty enough, still warm with the worst burnty bits cut off and slathered in butter.

I never had you down as a bunny burner!

 

[Orang Utan]

Making some hot (no)cross buns - same as hot cross buns, just not gonna bother with the cross

 

[iona]

Made banana bread with chia "eggs" and a mix of plain & khorasan flour, coz that was the only flour in the shop apart from a few small bags of self-raising which wouldn't work as a substitute for my usual rye bread flour. It turned out better than my usual recipe

Texture was less crumbly and more bready than this by the next day though tbh not much lasted that long Might make another loaf today to freeze.

 

[iona]

This thread has made me want to make hot cross buns, but I'd already bought some to make a bread and butter pudding type thing with, and buying buns to bake then baking separate buns to eat feels faintly ridiculous

 

[Orang Utan]

How do people work out when something rising/proving has doubled in size?
Will have to take a before pic next time!

 

[belboid]

Weird cake part three. I think this was the first time I have ever been scared to lick the bowl clean, as it smelt so strongly of the surprise ingredient. Turns out it didn’t taste bad at all.

Go Tomato Soup Cake!

 

[UrbaneFox]

Baking weekend: ginger and marmalade cake.

Biddlybee, what is your recipe for this? Sometimes I buy something splendidly like that, but with sultanas thrown in, at John Lewis.

I'd like to try yours, though, Uf

 

[Biddlybee]

Roughly this recipe: Ginger loaf cake
