Sausage Rolls and Mince Pies

At this time of year it is traditional in our household to have sausage rolls and mince pies.  Some years ago I started baking them for the office and now it has become a tradition and many look forward to it on the last Friday before the Christmas holidays.  This year is no different.

Supplies are limited and therefore it is on a first come, first serve basis.

Happy Holidays to all and normal service will resume mid-January 2017.

Enjoy!

As Nigel will not be in the office tomorrow I have sent an 'encore presentation' of Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread cookies.

Enjoy!

Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies

The run up to Christmas becomes very busy with sorting recipes, deciding what to bake for gifts and for home.  This year is no different.  December baking uses a lot of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

This week I have stepped away from cake and made Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies.  Upon removing one of the cookie sheets from the oven a few of the cookies did commit cookie-side.

Enjoy!

French Fruit Braid

This week I have made a French Fruit Braid.  According to the blog the last time I made this was 25th September 2009.  The filling for this braid consists of apples, raisins, cinnamon and butter.

When preparing the dough I was a little worried (as always with this recipe) as at one point it looked as though it would not rise.

Enjoy!
