Nice looking sourdough. I cheated for yesterday's attempt and added a ½tsp of dried yeast. Baked it for the first 15 min with a foil cover too, and then without but with a water bath in the oven. Seems to have come out OK, at last. A bit like a large ciabatta. No pictures though, as I've been out for a long bike ride and eaten nearly half already

The scones were actually REALLY good, despite my suspicion about using an egg. They rose well but needed longer than the 10-12 mins suggested; this might because I had my oven at 200 instead of 220 (it can be a bit fierce). I also added a little more flour as they seemed a bit wet but that might be because I halved the recipe and misjudged how much half an egg is. Recipe: jamesmartinchef.co.uk Lemon drizzle cake: I managed to burn it (trying to do too many things in too short a time!) so OH cut the top off. The recipe (4 butter / 4 sugar / 2 eggs / 5 flour / 1tsp baking powder / 2tbsp milk, whisk it all in a bowl together for 2 mins) couldn't be easier and always gives a good result. Brownies - not pictured but I probably overcooked them - which made for a pleasant cake rather than a squidgy brownie! |

Daughter decided that, cheese or no cheese, scones need raspberry jam.

Nice spread sk. I think Mary Berry uses an egg in her scones.

My new sourdough starter was ready yesterday and Raffo baked. despite my misgivings about H&B rather than Doves rye flour, the process had worked and the pain de campagne style loaf tastes fab. Looks wise it's a bit flat - rather like the not quite rightness of the first pancake. Half the loaf has been frozen and the other half is fast disappearing- as is my last batch of parkin. One small piece here - the nice shiny top spoiled by me squashing it in a too small container. |
