I do wish we could all have a bake in and one huge party, wouldn’t that be fun.Well the Banana loaf was just fine, so I’ll cut down the sugar in future, it is advertised as Sweet Banana loaf from an old cookery book I bought in 1960 for 5/- [25p] got some nice recipes but you have to convert the amounts. It’s a good way to use up bananas that have slightly gone over it uses 3 bananas [one cup] it is a nice moist cake. Also my best ever Shortbread is in there, scrummy.
The bread was OK I’ve got used to it using the machine , it’s surprising how home bread making has cottoned on, you can buy a bread machine for under £40 and all but one I’ve seen is for a lengthways loaf.
Carrie I hope you get your kneader fixed. One thing I used to find most annoying was the kneaders got stuck in the bread and when you finally got the bread out, there were two great holes and chunks missing from the base, I read you can prevent this by taking the bread out after the second kneading, remove the kneaders, and replace the loaf , with no problems and it works.
Gaelic Wifie it tasted just fine, not too sweet and quite banana [y] and no it didn’t sink which I thought it might do.
The smell did linger and was most pleasant when I came home last night.
Arlene hi you are right cooking smells oh lovely I have been cooking cakes and small puddings lemon, that's with lemon curd and lemon juice. It's quite windy here and raining off and on. Have a lovely Sunday. Hugs Sheila and Wile-e :) xx
ReplyDeleteHow true, how true. The aroma of something baking just makes you feel good. Not to mention drool, lol. My banana bread is all gone already. Lasted just 2 days.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your banna bread turn out ok without so much sugar. Arlene you are more than welcome to use any of my photos for painting. Just leave a comment on which one so I know which you will be using. Glad to inspire you. You inspired me to making a desert last night. Hubby was happy.
ReplyDeleteThat would be wonderful. One big party stretching all of the way across the ocean. Sheila could bring her Cornish Pasties.
ReplyDeleteOh hubby fixed my turning thing but I had taken the dough hook out and it layed around forever. I think I may have thrown it away as it layed around so long I must have thought I would just throw the whole thing away. Where is my brain. I think I will trying making one of those no-knead breads. Just not good at starting things so far in advance.
