They look very nice indeed, KC2!
Re: What are you baking this week?
Six 'Cornish-style' pasties made with beef skirt, onion, swede, potato, salt and lots of white pepper ... that's tonight's supper and some for the freezer ... and I've not had any lunch yet ....... can I resist .........
Re: What are you baking this week?
I do lots of things 'left-handed' .... I really worried a midwife because I always carried my babies in my right arm rather than my left ... I feel really awkward carrying a baby in my left arm like most people ... I do large drawings with both hands ... right hand on the right side of the paper and left hand for the left side ... I sometimes sew left-handed ... I know ... I'm odd ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

not odd at all - unless i am, too. i do the same and swap hands for many things when one becomes tired.
i'm a cock pasty maker, too.

It's enough folk being a bit odd that keep the world going round Scully ... if everyone was normal it'd probably slow down and stop ... ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: What are you baking this week?
actually, it's just occurred to me that a left handed person can be a 'cock or hen maker' depending whether they pull the flap towards or away for crimping.
Re: What are you baking this week?
It's her actual birthday today, although we had the family party on Saturday.
So while she was out singing this evening, I made some Portuguese custard tarts. and a few meringues with the whites left over. Just the bread to finish off tonight, and I can go to sleep.
OH is in sitting front of the computer with a meringue and a custard tart...![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: What are you baking this week?
Sounds a wonderful birthday treat, aero!
I am interested in lemon sourcream cake. It sounds rather nice.

I'm thinking of making this today: https://www.theguardian.com/food/2022/f ... ina-ebuehi
I will be halving the recipe, do you think one large egg would be ok?

I would think so - better than wasting half an egg. If the batter seems very stiff you can add a little more yogurt.
I've saved the recipe to try, when I'm allowing myself cake again.

Re: What are you baking this week?
Thanks, Suelle, it's in the oven. As it's in a 1 lb tin rather than a 2 lb one I have set the timer to check it at 40 mins ... will report back ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
ETA, the tahini was quite liquid and I also added a bit of kefir - I wasn't sure if the egg was needed for it to "rise" - in which case maybe one wouldn't have been enough. We'll see!
It's not exactly a light sponge sort of recipe anyway!

well, I did halve the quantities so we wouldn't be obliged to eat a large one

Re: What are you baking this week?
It is extremely delicious, thoroughly recommend the recipe.
Please could someone tell me if this is cooked or not? It tastes fine and my tester came out clean but it looks kind of "wet" .... maybe that's because of the yogurt and extra kefir, or the tahini, the one in the Guardian picture is more evenly "holey" ...
I gave it 45 mins as it was only a lb tin rather than a 2lb tin ...
Thx!

Re: What are you baking this week?
To me it does look underbaked , but if it tastes fine and you’re happy with it , then it’s all good . Maybe cook at a slightly lower temperature for a little longer next time
Re: What are you baking this week?
Your cake may just be a bit denser than expected because of the reduced egg - if it tastes edible it isn't far off being cooked enough.
Halving the recipe doesn't always reduce the cooking time at all. Depending on the proportions of the baking tin you use, it may still take just as long for the centre of the cake to reach the cooked point (generally about 90-100C).
I have a cake tester which turns red on the end when the internal temperature is high enough - https://www.lakeland.co.uk/32494/Nordicware-Cake-Tester
