To Be-Ro or not to Be-Ro . . . that is the question

[SchadenfreudePersonified]

Hoping this gets posted in time - and that there is still plenty to say on the matter!

Everything I’ve ever made from Plenty is Too Much Faff.

Maybe I’ll revisit it when I have time to caress my veg but in the meantime I’m too lazy/busy to be individually roasting a corn kernel.

DELIA's GARIBALDIS

INGREDIENTS

110g self-raising flour
pinch of salt
25g spreadable butter
25g golden caster sugar
2 tablespoons milk
50g currants
a little egg white, lightly beaten
a little granulated sugar

Preheat the oven to 200C, gas mark 6.

METHOD

Put the flour, salt and butter into a mixing bowl and rub to the fine crumb stage.

Then add the sugar and after that enough milk to mix to a firm dough that will leave the bowl clean. After that transfer it to a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a rectangle 20cm by 30cm. Now sprinkle the currants over half the surface and then fold the other half on top and roll everything again so you end up with a rectangle 20cm by 30cm. Then trim it neatly using a sharp long-bladed knife, so you end up with a shape about 18cm by 28cm.

Cut this into 24 fingers approximately 3cm by 7cm. Now place the biscuits on the baking sheet, brush with a little egg white and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake near the centre of the oven for 12–15 minutes, then cool on a wire tray and store in an airtight tin.

I'm bake those, I cannot find the other recipe.

Utter mystery.

So this week I’m doing a few family faves

Chicken Milanese
Jamie’s messy meatballs
Chicken fajitas (ancient Good Housekeeping recipe)
Salmon with bacon spring onions potatoes & peas (BBC Good Food)

And trying out a Vietnamese beef stew.

FUZZY'S GARIBALDIS.

Go to the local shop
Buy packet of Garibaldis
Eat them.

Vanilla are you going to beat Gremlins?

She wishes

Fuzzy

That's my mother's Secret Recipe!

How did you get hold of it?

Fuzzy - It will be the first (and probably only) joint Celebrity Winner in the history of Bake Off!

They may have to have a duel - choux buns at fifty paces or something -- to determine the victor.

Has anyone ever made lemonade cakes?

I seem to lost all ability to write a coherent sentence, as shown above.

I blame the lack of biscuits.

Oh, just the imagine the Lemon Drizzle Off between Gremlins and Vanilla.

Has anyone ever made lemonade cakes?

No.

But I have contemplated baking this,

thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/apple_dumplings/

but then I always come to my senses.

I tried Coca Cila cupcakes once

Jesus wept, Chardonnays - there must be about 20,000 calories in each of these, and 890g of fat. Stay strong . . .

Vanilla and Gremlins will you pleeeeease try and find a way of incorporating cutted up pear into your Showstopper challenge? And maybe a Pom Bear.

Or a penis beaker cake?

lemonade cake?

Darlings- champagne cake!!!

My showstoppers will be;

Cutted up pear tart
Darked on chocolate torte
Spider willie (sausage) rolls

What was else? Ah yes, Pom bears....

Pomme bares all (poached apple without the strudel)

Some of us aren't winos don't drink

I'll make a pom bear penguin bollard cake

I don't know Shadenfreude, I mean there's apple there?
That must be healthy then.

I like the idea of the darkened chocolate cake showstopper. You can decorate a washing line with drying sheets made out marzipan and chocolate spiders all over.

Must come with a trigger warning.

What can I do?

A parking diagram cake?

Oh yes, little fondant cars and grass and gingerbread houses with a shared drive and a dodgy dropped kerb.

Not simply a cake, it's a whole pudding landscape.

Ooooooooh!

Vanilla and Gremlins bakes are going to be GREAT!!!

Paul and Prue won't know what hit them!

(Promise you'll hit Paul. Promise. Doesn't need to be hard, or with a fist. . . a Fondant Darked-on Spider Willie bounced off his unsuspecting skull as he sneers at one of the lesser offerings will be enough to make my heart sing)
