A Busy Day of Baking

Heading down to the local bakers to treat yourself to a few cakes is all well and good, but sometimes there’s nothing more satisfying than sticking on the oven mitts and just doing it yourself.

So this week I decided to dust down the old recipe books and spend a day in the kitchen working my magic.


Blueberry scones were first on the list (an old favourite from my childhood days), then raspberry muffins – which are best enjoyed with a cup of tea and a good book!

But for anyone feeling a little more adventurous, then let me recommend Scottish ‘tablet’, a brittle, fudge-like confectionary which is extremely moreish. It’s not easy to make, but once you’ve mastered the art, you’ll never look back.

So, your homework for next week is to find your favourite recipe and let us know the results. We’d love to hear your feedback…
