What have you baked today?

I saw Easter biscuits on sale in Sainsburys, so when I got home baked a batch, cooling off now, better go and check if there are any left!

Thanks,I forgot to ask you how you made them!I think that I've got a recipe somewhere.Do you always use mincemeat?Do you use two circles or one?

Thanks.

I always use mincemeat, no just 1 circle sort of bring it up in sections so it overlaps and seals it, then turn it over , so smooth side is on the top of baking tray hth

I used one of my 1980s recipes to make a cake while the oven was on cooking dinner. The recipe is for an Orange Coconut Cake but I didn't have an orange in so I used Lemon instead. I cut this cake into 8 slices. Cost of cake approx - 85p. So much nicer than a cake from 99p/£1 shop plus only 6 ingredients! I used butter and there are no artificial flavourings/preservatives in it. When you read the ingredients of a bought cake - such a long list and chemicals that - who knows what they are. The squeezed lemon went in the fridge - Mr F adds water - puts it in the MW for a hot drink. No waste in this house.



I will give the recipe if anyone wants it.

Hi, it's my first time posting on here as I'm not really one for cooking! However today I've made a honey, lemon and yogurt cake and banana loaf - very nice they were too!!

those Eccles cakes look delicious . I take it that if you use mincemeat from Asda - then you don't have to use candied peel ? Thanks lj
