friend of Yorkshire Pudd Bezza (aka MaryBerry) is back on our screens with her side kick Paul Hollywood and a whole load of new contestants willing to battle it out to become master baker
Annoyingly these photos were taken of my second batch and I reckon they’ve improved greatly since – my latest batch had a lovely shiny texture and were pretty much perfectly evenly sized (take that MaryBerry
You could also use pre-made shortcrust pastry - I won't tell MaryBerry if you don't. If you liked this, you may also enjoy my chorizo scotch eggs, easy cheese twists or vegetarian sausagerolls - as well as some mini pie recipes from my fellow food bloggers
Week four of The Great British Bake Off is desserts week – I wonder what fabulous creations the contestants will come up with – something chocolatey, something boozy maybe, that will please MaryBerry
One classic Pork, Sage and Onion, one slightly more adventurous with chestnuts, apricots, polenta and chilli and a vegetarian aubergine and nut stuffing that i've adapted from a MaryBerry veggie meatloaf recipe that is quite simply heavenly – I’ve served all mine here as separate dishes but they will all work just as well stuffing into a turkey
Sure, you have the option of more personal interviews with a range of top chefs and yes, you could get a selfie and your book signed by a star, but the real fun for us was in seeing MaryBerry and Paul Hollywood getting up on stage and having some great banter
Mary where one of the two entrances closest to the National Park is located. We start the day with a new domestic breakfast that this time includes a breakfast burrito with egg, cheese and sausage heated in the microwave and that fills as much as its composition suggests but is not as tasty as expected
I’m no more a fan of a soggy bottom than MaryBerry is so I prebake my puff pastry shell on a pizza baking tray which has aeration holes in it like the ones you can see below
Roll the biscuit “sausages” in the demerara sugar until evenly coated. MaryBerry’s Lavender Shortbread Biscuits is the most popular recipe on our website and well worth trying
It did get a soggy bottom though, I obviously don't have MaryBerry's touch. I had some sausage meat leftover from Christmas, so used it to make this tasty plait
