He should have done :rotfl:

I am making a batch of loaves either tonight or tomorrow morning, and have golden syrup, oranges to be zested, and garam. No fresh ginger though.

would you be willing to see if one of the loaves might make a nice sweet treat for kitty? Plop 3 of the quarters in the tins then add syrup, garam, orange zest to the remaining quarter?

I confess Weezl, I am an extremely dedicated lurker. It was the Marmite that made me do it!:rotfl:

hello!

Lovely to see you

Your recipe looks fab!

Immediate staring at the spreadsheet yields no spare chickpeas ATM....

would it work with kidney beans d'you think?

Thinks thinks thinks

Brokebuthappy, I'm sorry your savoury bites weren't nice... Murrell likes them but her version has oil not lard, which would make for a softer less dry mouthfeel...

OK so we have 2 versions of Kitty's second batch idea being tested tonight/tomorrow. Weezl tests, with pith and zest of orange, 140g golden syrup, and 40g fresh ginger.

Allegra tests: with garam, orange zest and golden syrup.

Keen to see verdicts there

Did folk think the red pepper hummus looked ok?
