Well done Elsie - I hope he has a great birthday.

Nice scones Angus.

Has anyone else tried the banana 'ice cream'? I did peanut butter cheesecake flavour the other night - it was lovely.

Pear and ginger polenta cake cooling before the drizzle is added.

scones and cake look fab!

I made banana cake at the weekend - only had 3 banana instead of my normal 4 and it's a bit dry but will be fine when eaten with ice cream!

What's this banana ice cream?

Also a non baking but food question - what is the best and easiest way to peel hard boiled eggs?!

Whilst they are still a little warm EP.

The banana 'ice cream' peel, chop and freeze ripe bananas (3-4 depending on size for two people) add whatever (in my case a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter and 3 gf digestives) then blend in a food processor until you have a soft ice cream like consistency.

With eggs, I cool them down as quickly as possible then roll them gently to break the shell before peeling. Sometimes it all comes off easily, sometimes big chunks of white stick to it - sometimes two eggs treated exactly the same way will behave very differently so I'm not sure what the secret is!

I always leave my eggs to cool! Will try warm!

Ice cream sounds yummy!

I found a recipe (on diet doctor so "low carb") for seed bars that are a little like Nine Bars that I've started making

Half in fridge half in freezer

Calls for tahini but I've used nut butter too
Has chocolate broken in it and on top but I've also thrown in cocoa powder

I have some "pumpkin spice" almond butter (pip and nut - tastes like christmas) that I will try later when I make some more

Quick question on hard boiled eggs. I hard boil my eggs on a Sunday for my week's worth of snacks at work. I don't peel them until I need them which I do because I have assumed (!) that the shell will help to keep them from going off. I've noticed however the shell can be quite tricky to remove and like SK big chunks come off. Anyway the my question is

1. If I remove the shell off a hard boil egg, will the egg "keep" for a maximum of five days?

(Sorry for the long windedness!)

PS I heart looking at everyone's baking. You are all star bakers :)

Hard boiled eggs are the work of Satan ( plus a waste of good caking ingredients ;-) )

Red Ant - a quick Google suggests that storing them in the shell is best.
