    No eggs, milk or money here so I have just made some shortbread with some slightly out of date butter! Plus a wee selection of chocolate dipped marshmallows with smartie tops for my DD to share with her friends tomorrow. I still have a lot of butter left to use as I don't want to bin in, any suggestions?

    I made a cake for mum's birthday earlier. The birthday was about 4 days ago but the dog ate the first cake so I made a new one.
    And I also made fudge while I was at it, even though it's not baked XD

    Rummer you can freeze butter. More777 have you any mincemeat? I made mincepies last christmas using almond pastry they were lovely.
    Today I have made a tealoaf, some anzac biscuits & at the moment I have a chicken & a Gammon in the oven.

    It's only a bargain if you were going to buy it anyway!

    Does shortbread harden as it cools as mine doesn't seem cooked and I have never made it before :o

    Hi,

    I've cooked two Spaghetti Bolognese for the freezer - minus the spaghetti of course, and a Beef Casserole for tonight, there will be some leftovers as well.

    One steak, leek and vegetable puff pastry pie - every scrap demolished!

    I am thinking of a vic.sponge Tuesday for my mother visiting, but it's a new fan oven and I've only ever cooked with gas before. Any suggestions for temperature/times?

    Freeze it for next time :)

    I had some bag-ends of fruit left from Christmas baking, so made Granny's fruit cake. It calls for 250g dried fruit, so I chopped some apricots, cherries, peel and made up with sultanas :j
