Pitta Breads- #100bakeschallenge
Back at Christmas 2021 my friend bought me a really useful gift- a poster from Crumbs By Collette, which features 100 scratch off squares. Each square underneath reveals a picture of a well known traditional bake. As you bake that particular item, you scratch off the square. It doesn’t have a time frame to be…

White Chocolate Malteser Bunny Slices
It’s now the start of a busy recipe testing time for me in the SmartCookieSam kitchen. I’m so excited when it comes up to Easter as there are all these yummy chocolate eggs and other Easter treats around! The temptation is so real. The other day my son saw my secret stash of Easter treats…

Pistachio Bundt Cake: Bundt Challenge #7.
Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been working my way through my Bundt book challenge. So far I’ve managed one recipe a week. Doesn’t sound like much but I have lots going on in my life at the moment. Last Thursday afternoon I got home from work late after going via the shops on…

Paul Hollywood’s Iced Lemon Whitby Buns #100bakeschallenge no 78.

Bundt Challenge #1: Snickerdoodle Bundt
My new challenge for 2023 is to bake as many recipes from Bundt by Melanie Johnson. You can read all about this in an introductory post here: Bundt- The New Challenge For 2023. I wasn’t sure which recipe I’d like to make first so I put it to the vote. It was a choice between Snickerdoodle,…

Cornish Pasties- A Great British Bake Off Recipe.
I’m still working my way through my #100bakesposterchallenge and am really enjoying it. There are bakes I’ve made before a few times over and some I haven’t tried at all. Usually the ones I haven’t tried are down to whether they look complicated or are much easier to buy ready made. I must admit I…
