As lockdown continues, I’ve been spending some time in the kitchen baking. As we needed a change of taste one Saturday, I baked pizza three ways. The first was feta cheese and tomato on a hummus base; the second sausage with spring onion on harissa and the third, pepperoni and goat’s cheese with red pepper, also on harissa.
Good Friday found me in the kitchen baking Hot Cross Buns. These didn’t last long!
And my favourite Easter treat - chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate ganache and mini eggs. (I managed to save some of these and had one, complete with a candle, on my birthday, which was Easter Monday.)
Yesterday, I made a marzipan fruitcake from a Nigella Lawson recipe - I’ve made this before and it’s a favourite. Then I tried a new recipe for malt loaf. This was absolutely delicious still-warm from the oven with butter.
I managed to save the marzipan fruitcake until this afternoon, when I served it with a cup of Yorkshire Gold tea.
How are you getting through lockdown and what are you baking?
Belated happy birthday wishes. All your baking looks wonderful. I like the sound of the different pizzas, P usually makes an olive one and a muchroom one but at the moment flour is very scarce so we are being careful with it and only making bread every so often:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosie. Cards were thin on the ground this year, so belated greetings are much appreciated. Marie x
DeleteDELICIOUS...every bit, Marie! I'm salivating! :) We are blessed to have access to food as usual here, and have been eating well. There's been a lot of cooking and baking here. Perhaps a bit too much sweet treat baking, than is good for our waistlines... ;) Thankfully we are still able to go for walks, and we do! Be keeping well and safe there, my friend ((LOVE & HUGS))
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Too much baking isn’t great for the waistline. Marie x
