Week beginning 31st March

Well this weekend I decided to attempt a saffron cake, some Easter biscuits and another batch of muffins. Saffron cake first

Not as successful as I hoped, I couldn't find out from the cook book whether the oven temperature was for fan assisted or not, so I (wrongly it seems) assumed it wasn't - the cake looked and tasted good, but sank in the middle and the middle bits were better microwaved for 30 seconds before eating,  other than that though it was fine, I would do it again but stick to the temperature given, and also do an overnight rise as its a heavy dough and just takes forever to rise. I wasn't going to post this but I think I need to show failures as well as successes (according to my sister Pauline!!)







Easter Biscuits

Much more successful and reminded me of my childhood Easter times - would definitely do these again and it wouldn't need to be Easter either!! 




Banana & Sultana muffins



Then onto Easter Monday and I decided to make some bread and mini loaf rolls - rolls for bacon butties for brunch - quite successful here methinks :-)





And finally this morning yet another batch of the muffins, for Philip to take half of them to work - seem to have managed a regular order for them or similar as well as for Jo's workplace too!!
