Baking, a relaxing pass time

Les4048 · 23rd March 2019, 15:29

After living alone for a few years and doing my own cooking my girlfriend encouraged me to try baking and now I love doing it. Here’s the two things I’ve done last few days, my old mum’s birthday cake and today an apple pie

Well done that man, I can always appreciate some good home cooking.

No soggy bottoms either. Brilliant! Just like mixing concrete really but tastes better!

Love cooking but never tried baking, maybe because I'm not a great one for sweet stuff. Always fancied making a rice pudding though, remember my mother making them with sultanas etc . . . . apart from the time she forgot to put rice in it! My father and I sitting in great anticipation, ready to fight over the skin, only to be presented with a bowl of hot milk with sultanas floating it it

Looks lovely, I used to do a good “clootie dumpling” when I had some spare time.
My missus is very good with the tray bakes and when does them ( like yesterday ) my boys are not long in calling in for a visit.
