baking

[jeebeeg]

Thanks for the tip for the bread machine , Kopkei.
The basket of the old one is worn and I could not find a replacement , so I just ordered a new one.
The bread from the machine is quite acceptable for me , but I try to make cake as well, and it is a bit dry.
Do you have any suggestions to improve on that ?
Thanks anyway ,

My mum always said that one more or two more eggjokes makes the cake light and fluffy,try that first.

I've never used a baking machine myself but here is a link with maybe a few hints.

Your products looks amazing and I'm sure they taste excellent.

May I ask where do you purchase your ingredients from?

[kopkei]

most items are normal ingredients available in all shops , most bought in makro , and bakery shop opposite makro , vanilla sugar brought from abroad but now i also saw in the bakery shop , some chocolate also brought from abroad by friends , (expensive here due to import tax)...

Great hobby to have I wish I could turn out excellent results like that, I will stick to cooking where I can hold my own. Well done and I'm sure your family quickly dispose of the evidence!

Is that you in disguise

It makes you think how effort and organization goes into making those little things on the shelves in the bakery shops

Me, I am not a cook ore baker. I can eat the same meal for months on end, but now in my advancing age, and from lack of snacks in the house, I would like to bake muffins, banana cakes, sausage rolls, and bacon and egg pies..but where does one start..hard enough trying to get the missus to understand me.

Here's a good and foolproof start:Take vanilla icecream two spoons.top it with Oliveoil,gourmet fingersalt and Citronsest..easy and good-i-namnam ;-)You can add cashew nuts too on top.

I tried making some gem + apricot jam scones, and normal scones, and a and fruit + nut loaf, using my grandmothers old recipes and had some success. Reasonably easy once you get the ingredient mix right. Have a load of hand written recipes from her, some 80 years old, but getting some of the ingredients these days, particularly in Thailand is difficult.

In the old days, they used a lot of the Arnott's Biscuit for their ingredient bases, but those days are gone since Arnott's reduced their range. A good one was a Chocolate, Peanut Fruits & Coconut Fudge, using a Dark Maltz Arnott's Biscuit (second from the bottom left), but the Maltz biscuit is no more.

We had it good with the Arnott's biscuit range

Many items are cheaper in Makro than the bakery shop but not such a good selection available in Makro
