Today's challenge comes from Episode Two, and it is a greatBritish classic - theBakewell Tart. I'm not tackling these in the order of episodes particularly, in fact my only rule is to follow therecipe to the letter - a personal challenge for me as I have a natural urge to meddle with things
So as I sit here watching the contestants mess up their Iles Flottantes, and steal each other’s custard, my caramel ganache and banoffee caramel are cooling in my kitchen, destined for these babies
The book follows the series closely, including memorable recipes from the contestants themselves and Mary and Paul's Showstoppers, Signature Bakes and Technical Challenges
I have quite large muffin cases, so look a little small, but they were great. With a fresh punnet of blueberries in the fridge and a love for muffins, it was time to try a delicious baking recipe
Sandwich withtheother cake and spread (or pipe) the remaining icing on top, using the tip of a rounded palette knife to create a swirled effect from the centre to the edge of the cake
Sift the icing sugar into a bowl, add theginger syrup and water, Mix till smooth. Whisk the marg, sugar, treacle, syrup and eggs together until really well combined
All therecipes are on my cooking blog. I can’t wait to bake along next year, I rediscovered my love to bake bread (and stop buying from the supermarket), I learned so many things and challenged myselfwith tricky bakes
I was able to get my book signed by Paul Hollywood and MaryBerry, and this will be open to bids to rise money for Macmillan Cancer as part of my coffee morning event
teabread loosely with foil during the end of the cooking time if it is browning too much. On the Sunday, I fancied doing a little baking and spotted some browning bananas I could salvage
I always bake several of these gorgeous cakes towards the end of October each year. This cake has all those treacly warming flavours that go so well with cold, damp dark nights that we all enjoy before the onset of winter
Sealing the deal was the fact that I had been given the book for the series for my birthday by mybrothers, so I had Paul Hollywood's recipe all ready and waiting for me to try
Luckily, my lovely yellow biscuit book has a section on savoury biscuits so I ran options by the Hubby and his mum and sister, since they would be the ones eating them, and these paprika biscuits won
My mixture wither won't hold its shape or adheres itself to whatever it is being baked on. Put the eggs and sugar into a large bowl and beat at full speed with an electric whisk until the mixture is extremely pale and creamy and has thickened enough to leave trails when the whisk is removed
Love making cakes and buns and my speciality is lasagna. The whole team have returned – Queen of baking MaryBerry, Paul Hollywood AKA the Silver Fox and the comedy duo Mel and Sue, who I personally think add a great bit of comedy to the proceedings
