    Parmesan shortbread. Testing for Christmas snacks, worked out really well. Mozzarella, sundried tomato (not in oil) and drizzle of pesto. Very easy to make :)

    First time I've made one! Always thought it would be a more difficult process for some reason! But felt like making something & just pottering about on sites for ideas and thought why not as i had all the ingredients :D

    The mince pies look yummy!

    Quick question: where did you get the tablecloth? Is it oil cloth? I like it!

    First batch of Weihnachstplaetzchen done over the weekend.

    It's raspberry and coconut bites at the top, pecan nut, marzipan and chocolate flowers on the left and vanilla crescents on the right.

    Chocolate and caramel macarons. More practice for Christmas! I’ve had a lot of failures with these over the years but have finally cracked it with the Mary berry recipe I think. Haven’t made them in about two years because I made them as favours for a friends wedding in May 2016 and was traumatised about seeing and making at least 700 of them :D

    Wow, these look fab - can't take my eyes off them :)

    Don't mind me asking to be more specific about a source for the Mary Berry recipe you used ... cause I've only had failures with my macarons before, planning to give a try this Xmas break again !

    Thanks !

    We promised my daughter yesterday if she was good we'd bake today, so at 7am she came in and reminded us.

    So: Scones.

    I had to Google that I never heard of it before. It's something I must try.

    It is the vernacular bread for folk who have only a fire or hearth. If you are ever near Killarney, the Traditional Farms at Muckross have their beannanti making bread on the hearth, in the traditional way.

    I lived many years on a North Sea island and learned to make bannocks there. Easy and useful if, like me, you run out of bread and a tasty change. Each locality has their own version. I used rough ground wholewheat flour with some white.

    Here you go! If the pics aren’t good enough quality let me know and I’ll type out. For what it’s worth, I baked at 170’c for 13mins instead of what’s on the the recipe this time. Also, the one batch that didn’t work for me were when I put two shelves in close together, the bottom tray came out all cracked and bubbled.

    many thanks - would have to try this (have a different oven from last time I tried and failed - now I can control the temperature/time better).

    Good luck! Let me know how you get on or if you need any help with trouble shooting! The biggest thing I’ve found to getting successs is letting them dry before you bake them. At least 30 minutes or until they form a skin and you can gently touch them without them sticking to your finger.

    Happy Christmas

    Last month, I also baked a loaf of bread first time in life. It was fine but as I didn't have bread knife so slice was thick. Secondly, I notice these home-baked give little stomach pain may be due to yeast as compared to bakery ones. But, bakery ones also have too much amount of yeast. Unable to understand the difference.
