I would rarely bake but peanut butter just gets me every time. Could you share the recipe or one you would recommend for this?

I used this recipe this time: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/peanut_butter_fondants_62758

Second attempt at lemon meringue pie. First attempt was a failure because the lemon curd separated into a watery mess in the oven. This one is a recipe from Jane's Patisserie that browns the top of the meringue under the grill (well, ideally you'd use a blowtorch but I don't have one!) rather than baking the whole thing so it turned out perfect!

Piratequeen, you inspired me to give meringue a go - I tried a recipe to make lemon meringue pie bars earlier. Tasty, but the meringue was more marshmallow than meringue.

Well the meringue in lemon meringue pie is meant to be soft with just the top bit set, not like the drier meringues that you'd buy in the shops (I don't really like those!). Marshmallowy is kind of the texture I was aiming for anyway! :P

Gloomtastic!

Inspired by Dònal, i’ve been trying to perfect Paul Hollywood’s baguettes. Finding the dough really difficult to work with and I might need to find a YouTube video cos his instructions are a bit meh.

Here’s attempt no. 2



Edit: Tasted lovely though and great texture!

Did a bumper cookie batch at the weekend...only have my instagram
at the mo...will put up the brownies from last night later and put up proper pics of cookies (not sure if linking to instagram is accepted around here I only use it to tease my friends when I bake )

Bumper batch of cookies baked on Sunday...(actually did two batches as one of the ingredients you'd have to halve to make one batch and other half would just get thrown out)

And quadruple choc brownies last night. These are one of my favourite things to make.

*pics to big to embed*

Second batch of sourdough (frozen from last week) but cooked in a Dutch oven this time. Probably a tad over baked but still very tasty.

Apologies for the presentation of the cake - was taken in a rush this morning. Marble cake - tried to go for Orange flavoured, but didn't commit enough. Only used orange chocolate so not a strong enough flavour. Need to use juice, zest, or essence, I think. Tasty though.

Seeded soda bread with pumpkin seeds (and some pumpkin seed oil, to really bring out the flavour.

Some healthy* peanut butter oat cookies



* contains 1/4 cup of brown sugar, but healthier than normal!

Thanks! Did you specifically use natural peanut butter or will regular peanut butter work too?

I went with cheap peanut butter for this (no chunks), but both should work.

It's something mankind has been doing for thousands of years but still a landmark achievement in everybody's life! Congrats!:D

Sure - I got it from a Frenchman during a baking class in Waterford

350g wholemeal flour
50g white flour
100g porridge oats
500ml buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
1 good pinch of salt
2 eggs
2 tbsp of pumpkin seed oil
handful of pumpkin seeds to go in the mix, and another handful to sprinkle on top

Line a baking tin with baking paper, pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees.
Mix all the ingredients together and pour into the tin. Sprinkle on some more pumpkin seeds, then place in the oven for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, take the bread out of the tin, and place it back into the oven for another 20 minutes at the same temperature.

Will definitely have to get a few of those. We use it a lot in peanut stews. It's one of two that i'll buy cos they have no palm oil (Sun Pat being the other). Shame it's not much good on toast.

Daughter refused to finish her banana earlier, so I made banana muffins when I got home from work. I double checked and my logic definitely makes sense.

Made these last night as a belated celebration of 'world Nutella day' :P

Nutella Millionaire's shortbread ; chocolate shortbread with Nutella flavoured caramel topped with Nutella and sprinkles! They taste amazing and very indulgent!

Started a new job in January, apparently they do a tea and treats at the monthly meeting.. what better way to get people to like you than feed them right? I did choc chip cookies and raspberry mint brownies. I never have luck with brownies, but this recipe is divine.. just like Subway cookies!





And after two weeks (having forgotten one day ) of feeding my sourdough 'Colin', he treated us to this today

Needed to cheer myself up because of the crappy weather and Sunday blues. (cancer treatment week this week. ) So I made a little orange-lemon drizzle cake. Despite liking lemons, hubs and I find pure lemon drizzle cake too acrid but we love the moistness of it so I mix a little lemon juice with orange juice to make it less sharp. Think I’m going to try one with cloudy apple juice and lemon juice next. I always think the drizzle will make the cake soggy and I’m always amazed when that doesn’t happen.

Anyway... success!

Best of luck with the treatment _Dara_

A 'pancake-cake' I've been looking forward to making since last pancake day...my favourite day of the year!

Fluffy pancakes (not American style, more like crepes but made with self raising flour), layer with chocolate & hazelnut ganache and vanilla cream, covered with more vanilla cream and hazelnuts!
