After almost 70 years of avoiding a kitchen i had a fancy, the other day, to try making scones. My father and grandfather both enjoyed baking so I imagine it must have been buried deep in my genes.
Well I bought the stuff, got a recipe and made a batch. They were superb. My wife couldn't believe that someone who thought flour grew in gardens could make such a success straight off the bat.
Over the past week I have made 3 batches of shortbread (by the time I got to the third batch it was glorious), a batch of rock buns which are melt in your mouth, and today I have a Lemon Drizzle traybake in the oven.
I think I missed my calling.
But there's a problem. There is no point in baking unless you eat what you bake. There are only the two of us in the house and I refuse to give my fayre to strangers!

Oh Jocko - wish I lived close by - I would come round for tea! Lemon drizzle is my favourite but I love scones and shortbread too. Anyway, even though you're making naughty bakes at the moment, hopefully it will give you a love of cooking and you'll make healthier dishes in the future.

Well done on finding a skill you never knew you had...you may need to befriend your neighbours though.

Well done. We look forward to seeing you on the TGBBO. Me I love baking bread, the smell of the proving dough, seeing it rise and the smell of fresh bread is brilliant. Also I like making a nice Beef Rendang. Other cooking seems a bit of a chore to me.

I really fancy making my own bread. As for the freezer, it's tiny, and we don't have room for a bigger one.

My favorite butcher's point-of-sale software prompts to tip. I don't, but bring them brownies. So I'm with you on baking things you can't eat! --- What cut of beef do you use for your rendang? It's almost that season. Tempted to try it in clay baker next time, but suspect the spices aroma would remain in unsealed lid.
