2021 Edition - What have you baked lately?

[Johnny West]

That sugar plum bread reminds me of the little loaves Steve's Mother would make at Christmas.
She was from Liverpool and they were said to be a local Christmas pudding, but I can't remember what she called them.

Is that something you could google as a Liverpool thing?
After watching all the British Baking Shows so many times
I am amazed at all the different things there are to bake.
Ive save some but don’t know I will ever attempt them.

Usually we would put butter on the slices but it is so good
we haven’t bothered.

Well, I was wrong about the frosting of the chocolate cookies.

The fruit cakes are soaking in brandy and wrapped with cheese cloth.

I just googled Liverpool Christmas pudding and am overwhelmed by how many there are.

She called them Christmas buns.
They had fruit and nuts in them but weren't the traditional Christmas pud.

Here you go. I just took pictures of my sister in laws recipes and if you notice, they are xerox copies of type written recipes.

My wife said the way her sister has this typed out is confusing and is going to edit it.

Thank you

 

[Johnny West]

Thank you

You bet. Eventually she is going over all her sister’s recipes and edit them. Most of the recipes are their mothers‘s and claims she lost the book with them in it. When I get the final copy I will make a new post of them all in this baking section.

Today she made Bell Cookies and Christmas Trees. They are two different cooks recipes.
