Baking - I really enjoyed having the time to learn to bake a bit in Uganda and want to try to make the time to do it now as well. I want to keep practising the same recipes until I can do them quicker without having to keep checking the recipe.
I decided to try and record some of my baking attempts on here to kind of make myself feel I'm achieving something! Several years ago I was given a shortbread mould for secret Santa. I tried using it once and wasn't very successful. I tried it again in September on return from GYIL. Again, I couldn't really get it out of the mould - but at least the shortbread tasted ok! I did a bit of googling and found lots of people had had the same problem with this mould. So I tried again using some of their suggestions. It wouldn't come out initially but after a little prod with a knife out it came in a few sections.
The trouble was I had totally changed the temperature and timings so I've no idea what really worked. And it was more crumbly this time and dough-y too! And I decided to add some chocolate this time too. So some more experimenting to do before I could feel confident to serve it to someone!!
But at least I'm trying!
