11th December : Baking
✸ ✹✵ ✶ ✷ ✸ ✹
Himself and the boys have legs so hollow that baking evaporates before it has even had time to cool down, which meant baking large batches regularly became a way of life. Then this summer when lock down briefly lifted, the boys moved out to either start work in a new town or return to uni. Himself remained the sole baking consumer and he has done sterling work!
These lemon and ginger shortbread were as a result of me noticing the biscuit tin was a little bare. Himself had been working outside on the van and the weather (and the van to be honest) had been a little foul and I knew he would need some sort of pick-me-up with his mug of tea.
They just managed to last until the evening ....... he felt a whole lot better (and is still as thin as a reed!) And if you fancy trying them - they are indeed very more-ish.... the link is HERE
*And since the original baking, I have made a further three batches (I am eating one now with a mug of tea - bliss)

I tried to comment once but it didn't work :( These so look delightful I can almost taste them. I like the last photo, did you only have the one?? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for trying again! and yes I certainly had more than one!
DeleteYum 👏 🎄 ❄️
ReplyDeleteThey were! I need to make more nom nom!
DeleteAs usual your photos are beautifully stages; they do sound good and I suspect just eating one is not an option! x
ReplyDeletethank you x and yes they were :D
DeleteThey look very christmassy. Perfect with a brew or a festive walk I imagine. X
ReplyDeleteThank you and they were good :)
DeleteWe clearly had the same idea. I think I'll be baking trees instead of stars next time. X
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! :) x
DeleteThose biscuits certainly look wonderful and it seems passed all the taste testing too!!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteOooh, I love lemon and they look and sound delicious. Recipe saved, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTotally worth it! They are delicious :)
DeleteThose biscuits sound really nice. I think I will definitely be giving them a go. I think shortbread was one of the first things I ever made at school in 'domestic science'.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I never made them in 'domestic science', in fact I don't ever remember eating them until I came to this country - I only learnt to make them a few years ago - on catch up now!
