It’s been a “baking morning” but now I’m off outside to garden in beautiful sunshine
A birthday cake for granddaughter (now in the freezer to be defrosted and iced on Sunday). Two marble cakes
And, below, a new recipe which required me to do something I haven’t done for years – bake blind i.e. use beans to weigh down the homemade pastry case and cook it before putting in the filling and cooking for a further short time The beans can’t be cooked now but can be stored for future blind baking
In the pastry case slather Dijon mustard, then sprinkle grated cheese, add sliced tomatoes and seasoning and a swirl of olive oil. Eat tonight!
