Baking

In the midst of one's busy schedule, one needs to learn how to take some time off doing something therapeutic right?? Well.. as for me, my choice was to bake something.

Digging out my old F & N recipe book, I was abit apprehensive on what could come out of the oven. My first attempt was to make "Scones".. Scones with jam and earl grey tea makes perfect afternoon treats for anyone. Seriously, a bite of the scones with apricot jam and a sip of the earl grey tea will send your senses skywards.

With the help of my housemate, Bernice, we present to you "Scones with dried fruits (Bernice had the honour of having the hands on experience. I just instructed her on what to do)

"



My next attempt was to make "Victorian Sandwich cake". Well.. I know the name sounds fancy.. but actually its nothing hard or complicated. I was abit too over-confident on the method to used. I took the appropriate proportion of eggs to sugar and started whisking everything up. It was not till Bernice's question on when we should add the butter. It struck me cause I thought this was whisking method and no butter is needed. Oops.. Thank God, the recipe allows for U-turn and I immediately changed the original recipe (creaming method) to whisking.

Presenting to you.. Victorian sandwich





Taaa..
