I did have a look to see if there was a thread on this, but with the increase in time available to some of us, we're managed to learn new things, so what new things have you guys (and ladies) learnt during the lockdown.
.....for me its making biscuits, and is something even I cant do wrong Before lockdown it would have been 30 years since I've made a biscuit. on VE day I saw a post about making oatie biscuits using wartime rations, and found I had the ingredients to make them....I didnt have a suitable baking tray so they were cooked on a plate
and then a couple of months ago I decide a to make some more, but this time shortbread, including one that did contain nuts......they are 316 grade so were food safe
and since then Ive been making 2 or 3 lots a week, and this is yesterdays batch and of course making your own you can have your own flavours......and yesterday I had glace cherry and almond shortbread together with peanut butter oaties.
so what new things have you learnt and enjoy doing, can be something simple like this.
can the mods move this if it is in the wrong place...... but I think a post about biscuits does seem to be appropriate here as it is in the brew room, and who does like a biscuit with their brew.
