Welcome
to my new follower Rae. Early this morning (after yet another
sleepless night until 4am when I finally 'dropped off'), I decided to
have a baking morning. First on the list was a hard core full fat
gingerbread cake.
After
that I made some pork and chicken pasties.
With the leftover pastry I made some wartime cookies. Check out my new Wartime Recipe page to see how I made them. Then
a little crumble mix to sit on top of two individual gooseberry
crumbles.
Yesterday,
I tackled my yoghurt nemesis and decided to try making it slightly
differently. This time I allowed the milk to boil, then left it to
cool to the correct temperature before adding yoghurt and following
the recipe as per usual. I also decided to trial this new way using
whole milk and then semi skimmed.
9pm
last night found me unravelling said jar from its towels and cool bag
and hey, the whole fat milk version is solid. I could actually tip
the jar on its side and it stayed put. We had some after lunch today with cinnamon and honey drizzled on top - lovely.
My goodness you have been busy. Your baking looks wonderful and I'm wishing that this was a smellablog so I could get a whiff of that home baking! Still need to try making yoghurt!
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice, the gingerbread, if I say so myself, smells very good.

Thanks Regina, I slept very well last night.
DeleteMmmm everything looks lovely, I often make these "biscuits" although I call then Chorley cakes, which they resemble. Another interesting page to look at too.
ReplyDeleteMrs S.
These were very thin mind you, probably 1/2 cm when cooked. I hadn't thought about them being similar to Chorley Cakes, maybe the person who wrote in was from that area.
