Lazy Sunday Afternoon - Baking !

Anastacia

I'm bored !
OH is at work all day & then seeing friends. One child is out & the other playing nintendo. I have been cleaning all morning & am bored & bordering on fractious.
What i need is a bit of inspiration on what I can bake this afternoon. What can you suggest that is suitable for a coldish & raininy Sunday afternoon (two teenage boys so however much i bake it wont be too much) Alternatively if anyone can think of seomthing i can do which is more interesting than baking but still suitable for a skinflint like me, then thats good too !

Thank you in advance

I want to bake something too! My mum gave me an old electric mixer and I really want to try it out. But it has to be something without butter as I've only got a teensy bit left. I'm still looking through my cake books to find something.

I had the same idea!:D Ive just come online to find some recipes! My OH had a horrible night at work so i want to make him something nice for when he wakes up.

If i find any good recipes ill post them here!:T

I canvassed advice from DS2 & he came up with macaroni pudding & choclate cornflake cake, not quite what i had in mind but i guess its a start!

person with no butter? have you tried cooking oil (I use sunflower) in savoury dishes?

can't vouch for any of them though as I never tried them.

Scones!

Then you can eat them hot from the oven with lots of jam :j

I did my baking yesterday and made lemon drizzle sponge fingers - it gets cut into big bits (for H) and small bits (for me!)

There should be loads of recipes online for scones.

Mmmmm cheese scones. I will buy some butter when I go out tomorrow and make some.

I made chocloate chip cookie type things in the end. Not really the right thing to make in my new mixer, but they turned out ok.

I made the carrot cake recipe from this forum, it was delish.

Yoghurt cake is on here somewhere too, its also delish.
