backing... anyone hungry?

Post by gkmoberg1 » Tue Mar 24, 2015 4:07 am

ImageHot Cross Buns by gkmoberg1, on Flickr

I've been backing yesterday and this evening. Yesterday was a triple layer strawberry cake with lemon butter frosting. Not the usual thing to be making but I had frozen strawberries to use up... so it happened. And this evening it's a dozen hot cross buns. These are from a book by David Bowers called 'Real Irish Food' (2012) that I have from the local library. Mmmm, they look good but are too hot yet to pop in my mouth. ... If you're in the area, stop by!

Now that I see the picture I'm a little less confused. (backing-baking) ;)

Nice touch with the candle! Tonight I'm making pizza with dates and prosciutto (or is it figs?) The figs will go into muffins I think.

I'll break open the story and tell you what is there. Then, like the others that have fallen out onto the sand, I will finish with it, and the wind will take it away.

baking/backing ...oops! My childhood is showing. Both in that my spelling in English over 'k' or 'ck' has always tripped me up and that I grew up in the strongly Mennonite farmlands to the west of where you are. Auf Deutsch, 'baking' is 'backen'. :oops:

Until you mentioned living in the U.S. (in discussions about LTROi in NY), I imagined you were German or Austrian. Just certain turns of phrase. Now I know. :)

(I am not Amish. And there are were many Amish in the farmlands of Lancaster Country. This video, though, takes me back to all that.)

Pizza with dates and prosciutto. After eating it I think I prefer figs, or maybe more toppings? :think:

Today it is 32℃ , which means Why not turn on the oven and do some baking?

Here goes!

First, I made a batch of scones. I put in some chocolate bits because, well, I wanted to.

Then, I made a batch of kanelkakor (Swedish cinnamon cookies)

And next up will be a batch of citronsmåkager (lemon wafers)

Nothing says summer time quite like hot buttered scones.

I worked in a "backery" for a couple of years, I mostly made donuts. I was sick of them after 3 weeks.
