I did the English muffins today.
My pictures are always "too large" to post.

I take photos on my phone and download them to my email address. I get the option to choose the picture size at that point. Then I go into my emails, retrieve the attached photo and save it to my picture folder ...

Re: What are you baking this week?
Made a tray of chocolate chip flapjacks today.
It's a recipe from an old M&S cookbook (1970's) and quite different from flapjacks as we would know them now. Daughters favourite flapjacks!

We're not really eating any sweet treats during lockdown ... unless you count porridge with stewed rhubarb ... so this morning I made some spiced buns (River Cottages HCB recipe, without the cross)
They smell great ... can I wait until 'afternoon tea time' ... would it be ok to have one for lunch do you think? ... (we don't eat our main meal until the evening even on a Sunday)

Oooh you've given me an urge for crisp juicy cucumber ... that'd better go on the list for Wednesday ...
Re: What are you baking this week?
I’ve got a batch of white chocolate and raspberry blondies in the oven. Never tried the recipe before, if it works I’ll post it later.
Re: What are you baking this week?
The blondies are delicious. This is the recipe, I threw a few chopped nuts in there too https://www.sweetestmenu.com/white-chocolate-and-raspberry-blondies/
Warning, it is a really annoying website!

Re dough hook dough riding up, I've seen chefs using stand mixers who poke the stem of the hook through a paper plate to stop icing sugar becoming airborne than is left in the bowl Would that work for dough? Also, I seem to recall that Kenwood prides itself on having replaceable parts so worth asking.
I have a pack of ready rolled shortcrust which will magically transform into a deep apple pie, probably with lattice crust as whichever baking tin I try, there's never quite enough in one sheet to make both a bottom and a top. I've resisted buying one of those cut and pull lattice rollers, being more kitchen fodder, but hopefully the apples won't have gone mouldy by the time I've done the folding back and forth of the strips.

I'd quite like to bake a no added sugar fruit cake as I have a 500g bag of very good dried mixed fruit.
Do you think this recipe would work without the dates? (I also don't have an orange, but could substitute tea to simmer the fruit in.) I'd scale down the other ingredients.

Re: What are you baking this week?
Do you mean the prunes? I can't see dates. Dates always add a great deal of sweetness but I wouldn't have thought that prunes were quite so sweet.
Without an orange as well it might lack something - unless you used a scented tea maybe. It's a lot of precious dried fruit to experiment with! I managed to get some sultanas last week for the first time during the current situation.

You can buy a collar to fit on a Kenwood Chef bowl that stops ingredients being chucked out of the bowl while mixing.

Oops, yes I did mean prunes Most of the recipes I was looking at had dates in, and I don't have any of those either!
I could use Lady Grey tea, which is orangey - I think that's a good idea! Thx

These are the brioche buns I made today, inspired by seeing StokeySue's attempt They are absolutely delicious. Daughter and I had a totally home made supper tonight.... I made the buns and she made the burgers (well her interpretation .. never had a burger with chopped carrot in before )

Re: What are you baking this week?
thanks Amy .. I am always surprised when my bread products work out well .. I am now almost out of Strong White Flour (and Plain) so Daughter's mission today (should she accept it ) is to find more.
I will have a look at that link - hoping it may be simpler than the route I currently use ..
