Almond butter cookies for Santa

December 23, 2014

I made these with our 2 year old to put under the tree for Santa tonight. Super easy recipe from Ceres:
1 c almond butter
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 sea salt
chopped or slivered almonds for topping

Preheat oven to 180C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until smooth. Scoop out tablespoon portions onto the baking sheet, allowing room for spreading. Flatten slightly with moistened fingers. Sprinkle almonds on top.
Bake for 10-13 min until golden brown at the edges. Cool on tray before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

Lemon and poppy seed loaf

December 2, 2014

This comes from Healthy Food Guide and is a low FODMAP recipe, good for people suffering from IBS apparently.

100g (1/2 c) sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1 1/2 Tbs lemon juice
1 1/3 c spelt flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbs poppy seeds

Lemon glaze:
1/4 c lemon juice
1/4 c sugar or rice syrup
few grates of lemon zest plus extra for topping

Rye and spelt bread

November 29, 2014

By Frances
I've been enjoying watching Paul Hollywood's Bread on TV and following the recipes from the book from the series (Bloomsbury, 2013). He has a good pragmatic way of explaining his recipes and complementing the bread with delicious-looking dishes. He makes the kneading and shaping look easy, but I know I have to work on my technique. This loaf turned out super - soft crumb and chewy crust, with lovely wholesome rye/sourdoughish flavour. Perfect with butter and honey.

For the 'sponge'

Yorkshire curd tart

November 16, 2014

By Frances
I feel bad for neglecting Bake Club for a while, but I have been busy selling my first self-published book for children, and sales are going well! However, I have been thinking about baking a lot while reading Caroline Taggart's Slice of Britain (AA Publishing, 2014). It's a collection of great yarns from her travels around Britain tasting local baking specialities and finding out about the history in the area. What a great idea for a book to combine her love of writing, travelling ...
