Today I made a batch of Welshcakes using the recipe from
Sharne's blog. I followed her recipe, but mine certainly didn't turn out like the ones in her picture. The first batch actually burned, the next batch fell apart and then the next two batches (I added more flour to the mixture, as I thought it might have been too wet) turned out OK. But I wouldn't put them out if friends were coming. My family loved them anyway! I only ate one as I am trying to be good. I also made loads of pancakes for the family and I didn't have any.
I also bought this book yesterday, I have watched a few of her programmes and she makes baking look so easy. I have also seen some examples of recipes from her book on different blogs, so I thought I would have a go. The idea is to bake more at the weekend and not have bought goodies in the cupboard. Hopefully this will stop me being tempted by all the naughty food and improve my weight loss.
Worth a try! I gave in and had pancakes, I'll have to be extra good for the rest of the week! See you tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm tempted by that book. I missed her TV series but I've loved the couple of recipes I've tried so far. I still haven't made my Welshcakes.
ReplyDeleteHome baked cakes are the best, whatever shape, colour, texture or weight!
ReplyDeleteAt least you know whats in them and that there are definitely no additives.
We had pancakes as well last night, can't miss out on a bit of tradition!!!!!
Sorry to hear the Welsh cakes were a disaster. I haven't seen that cookery book, you'll have to let me know if it worth adding to my collection.
ReplyDeletehope you had better luck making my apple cake!
ReplyDeleteI have done some Martha Stewart recipes and had also some good and some bad luck.
Even when I cook or bake something that I have made lots of times, it is not always the same.
By the way..got things ready for some sock dolls...now I just need the time...and another B 12 shot,ha ha.
Cheers, Evi
Best wishes with all your endeavours. Home baked is definately the best.
