A couple of weeks ago I was given a copy of Good Housekeeping: Great Baking (the fiancee was worried I wasn’t creating enough cakes, cookies and such) and since then I have been leafing through it’s 600 recipes whenever I get the chance. Again it’s another American cookbook so the conversions are annoying but at least there is a table at the back.
Cinnamon Bun
I think this is possibly the first recipe I am going to link to that has absolutely no pretensions of being good for you. It’s just really tasty and makes me think that summer is finally on its way.
Individual Rhubarb Sponge
As I mentioned in my last post, I have been experimenting using Coconut Oil as a shortening rather than butter. My first real attempt was to make a very simple change to the Nutella and Bran Cookies I put up a couple of weeks ago.
The result was amazing, and definitely better than my original attempt.
After making the thumbprint cookies a couple of weeks ago, I decided to look into butter substitutes. As I had been shocked at the butter-to-everything-else-ratio. A google search later, and I come up with my next attempt. Coconut Oil.
