I had a go at some sourdough baguettes the other day (technically demi-baguettes due to the size of the oven...). First try at using a linen baker's couche for the rising - very happy with the result:

I can't pronounce it, but my missus can't half bake it!

We don't care whether you can pronounce it. How do you spell it?

Chocolate and cherry pudding with not enough (fresh) cherries (will probably layer them next time) served with vanilla ice cream

Yesterday I made a batch of bite sized scones.

I ate too many.

Cranberry muffins. We used our new Lakeland silicone muffin pan, so no need for paper cases. Those with sharp eyes and good maths will spot that there are only 10 in the basket, whereas the baking tray has 12 spaces.

My Saturday of baking won't give Mr.Kipling any sleepless nights, but the results tasted nice enough.

Gathering ingredients:


Grease tins and dust with flour:


Mix flour and icing sugar with butter until it looks like breadcrumbs, add egg yoke and water to bring pastry together.


Divide pastry in to 6 and roll out. I'm rubbish at rolling so use a couple of skewers to get the right even thickness.


Put pastry in to the tins:


Trim off the excess and prick the base with a fork:


Blind bake for 15 mins.




Make up frangipan with butter, sugar, almonds, flour, almond extract, lemon zest, egg:


Load in to a piping bag:


Spread raspberry jam in to the pastry bases then pipe in the frangipan.


Bake for 30 mins.


Mix up some icing sugar, almond extract and water. Ice the tarts when they are cool.


Mix up some more icing sugar and add red gel.


Pipe red stripes on top of the tarts and drag a cocktail stick through the stripes.


Glace cherry to finish the decoration.


Noms.

Excellent stuff Matt. I could just imagine eating those. I probably would have deleted the icing if they were for me but then they wouldn't have looked so nice.

Being in possession of all that kit plus the baking beans suggest real dedication to the craft.

That's one hell of a cake for your first effort, even for a skilled baker. I can almost taste it.

Thanks, it did taste good.

I've done plenty of cooking just never any baking. Quite enjoying it and lots to learn. Plus good excuse to buy a load of new cookbooks.
