Yes absolutely, use whatever you have. I have just bought a big tub of Flora Light for baking, because my beloved Lurpak is not making me any thinner I'd be wary of olive oil spreads though, the flavour might be a big strong for some cakes.

Ok thanks, for the great advice, hope the Flora Light tastes just as good! :T

Feeling pretty smug now. Seeing as I'm skint at the moment, I'm "shopping from home" just now and using up the freezer/store-cupboard food. So, speaking as someone who's not good with pastry, I'm feeling downright virtuous as we're about to eat a quiche I made this afternoon and doubly saintly for making cheese straws with the leftover pastry.

Well, I did it, I made my very first pie, cheese and onion using the recipe from this forum, everyone loved it, and we didn't break out teeth on the pastry either, lol, very pleased with that result!

Didnt have any biscuits or cakes in the cupboard so have just finished making 12 lemon cupcakes, 2 (2lb) banana loafs from old bananas and a 12inch by 10 inch iced ginger bread. This should last us all week for our lunchboxes - oh and left the oven door open when I was finished to dry the washing too!!

This evening I've made a batch of Chelsea Buns, and my first Bread Rolls... The Chelsea Buns will be lucky to survive to the weekend, but I'm a little confused by the bread rolls... I followed the recipe to the letter, and yet they've come out like little rocks! Well, not that bad, but still. I was expecting something more... soft, I think. They're more stretchy/chewy, is that normal?!

i've made some jam tarts today. prob seems like i'm always posting saying i am making them. but i make a batch of pastry up and the keep in fridge and make about 8 jam tarts in any one go. that way a) we don't eat them all in one go as they are gorgeous and b) they are always fresh when we want them.
