… wear trousers that have a tendency to slip down and then off just as you have got to the hand mixing in the egg!!
Oh well, 2 dozen chilli scones made. hopefully very nice, but in oven at the moment, and I made up the recipe! 5 cups self raising flour to 1/4 pack of butter – all in my quest to not have to use weighing scales at the mo. certainly seem to be rising nicely. weight watchers also taught me that 45g cheese looks a lot like a matchbox, so also included 3 matchboxes of cheese – rofl! 2 teaspoons harrissa paste, 1 of cayenne, 2 of mustard powder, and also 5 ish pepperdew whizzed up and fried with 1 large onion [and the spices] oh, 3 teaspoons of salt and 3 eggs. lets hope it tastes good. I am hoping for them to have quite a kick to them!
1 handed baking a bit of an art form – so daren’t do anything requiring a light hand!
A late start to this evenings baking as BB been unsettled and fed almost constantly for 2 hours. So not done anything for tomorrows party yet [these are to freeze for xmas, as scones - savoury at least- do freeze well. of course mothing tastes as good as fresh from the oven - ooh first beep!].
ooh yes, very nice. could actually do with a bit more of a kick, but the pepperdew pieces in it are really nice.
I much prefer non-weighing-type baking – started when we lived in Canada and have continued. Have converted most of my regularly-made scales-based recipes now and even have a little chart of equivalents for common ingredients stuck to the inside of one of the kitchen cupboard doors
I like cups – must by my Canadian side speaking!
