My first bake - Blueberry muffins


My blueberry muffins

My ingredients and my Mary Berry recipe book


I chose to make a recipe from Mummy's Mary Berry cook book (Mary Berry's Baking Bible), as I really like her on Great British Bake Off. I chose the Blueberry muffins on page 128 because they looked healthy and delicious.

1) First I collected all the ingredients from around the kitchen, fridge and under the stairs (Mummy's pantry).

2) I then set the oven to Fan 180.

3) I then mixed together the flour, baking powder and butter to make "breadcrumbs". See my photo below. I then added the blueberries, sugar and grated lemon rind.

 

4) I then stirred our home made eggs (thanks to our pets chickens....Delia, Nigella and Mary). They are very very yellow and much nicer than shop bought ones. I then added the milk to the eggs.


5) I then added the eggs mixture to the dry mixture and carefully stirred them together.



6) I then divided the mixture equally between 12 muffin cases and put them in the oven for about 20 minutes, until they were golden and firm to touch.
7) I let them cool for a few minutes, and Mummy took a few photos, before we decided to tuck in.




They tasted really good. I shared them with my friends and family. During my bake I learnt about how to set the oven temperature, and also how to safely grate the rind off a lemon (without hurting myself).

I think next time I might bake a single larger cake.

Until next time....happy baking, kid@kitchen. x

Jamie's chocolate porridge

Cooking the chocolate porridge recipe from Jamies latest cookbook "superfood family classics". The recipe is available online Ingredients 200g of dates, 200g of hazelnuts, 400g of porridge oats, 2 teaspoons  of vanilla extract, 3 heaped tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 oranges zest. First you pour the hazelnuts in a pan and grill them for about 3mins.  Then you put the right amount of ingredients in, then grind it up in a food processor. And it should look like this. And put in a air tight container where it will last a couple of weeks. 👌👍😀 And if you wanted to you could prepare some fruit.  Then put the mixture in a pan to boil and stir as well. Like this. This is my sisters. This is my mums. And this is mine. Yum yum yum

GBBO Orange love heart cake

Image
This is the orange sponge cake I made for grandads birthday. It's a good one to make for anyone who is gluten intolerant, and I used it as my Nanna is and I wanted her to eat it too. I followed the recipe from The Great British Bake Off - How to bake (see photo).           I beat it with a hand whisk until it was mousse like, it's a bit like making a meringue.    To make the cake extra special for Grandad, I used a heart shaped cake tin from Ikea. When you pour the syrup over the cake, it looks like it won't soak in, which is a bit worrying.....but it did. I decorated it with little chocolate buttons and served it with creme fraiche.    Grandad loved his birthday cake.  Other people have blogged about this recipe: http://recipes.thegreatbritishbakestore.co.uk/2013/05/how-to-make-orange-sponge-cake-by-lisa.html
