It should be fine
Oh.... and next time... try Pease pudding in slow cooker? BUT... instead of putting loads of peas and things into it - use half or even a third. That way you get your soup cooked in the gammon (or bacon or ham) stock all in one go. Dead yummy, honest

Hi, I'm thinking about making sweet potato chips for tonights dinner - do I do exactly the same as with normal potato's? Peel, cut, par-boil then oven bake? I usually do steak chips type size - is this ok?
Thanks

I think so, although sweet potatoes always seem a bit more watery when mashed, so probably less par-boiling, or even none?
Hopefully someone will come along who's done them before.0 -
OK, quick question for you about yorkshire puddings:
If I make a batch, can I freeze them? Previously, I have bought frozen ones from the English shop, kept them in the freezer, and then they have lasted ages. But, to cut costs and just because homemade ones taste better, I want to make my own more often.
So, I am assuming that they can be frozen, but just wanted to confirm before I make a lot in one go! lol
Thank youFebruary wins: Theatre tickets0 -

I've never tried, but if you can buy frozen ones I don't see why not. I should imagine you just open freeze them, then when you want to reheat them just do the same as you would for bought ones.
I suppose this is just one of those trial and error things really. Maybe next time you make some just make a couple of extra ones to try them out. It would be interesting to know how they come out if you do try.0 -
I have frozen them and then just crisped them up in the oven. No problem. Then again, I'm not from England,so what may be acceptable to me, may not be to someone who really knows their yorkshire puddings! All I know is.... they tasted yum!Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These

I was halfway through kneading my bread today when I realised that I'd gotten distracted and forgotten to put in the salt and oil. I'd read somewhere that you can add things as long as you knead them in properly so I added it in and kneaded until it felt "right". Its on its first rise now. Does anyone know if this will work? Normally I would just wait and see, but I'm making an extra loaf to take to a dinner party tonight and I don't want anyone slicing into something less than appealing.:o0

It will probably be fine. I've forgotten the yeast before now :rotfl: but added it afterwards and kneaded it really well and it worked.0 -
Thanks..And thanks for telling me about the yeast. I feel a little less silly now:) I'll be sure to have a small slice of our own loaf right after it is baked just to test it out. With butter, of course otherwise I won't be absolutely certain.0
