Good crumpet. Bad crumpet

Another fine example

The crumpet making was slow but worth it.
A yeasted mix was left to froth then poured carefully into greased pastry cutters which sat in a hot frying pan. Each one took a few minutes to cook. As you can see, I overdid the first one. Happy to say though the rest were fine.


Today I made six jars of Seville orange marmalade, pics coming tomorrow. As the cauldron (large flowered saucepan) of sugar, oranges and water boiled and spat several jars were warming in the oven . I couldn't wait to pot the golden mixture.
After a thorough boiling I tested it in two ways, first using the saucer method, secondly using a thermometer.
Crossing my fingers and praying to the god of preserves I poured the liquid amber into the jars...
 I'll taste it tomorrow......


Had a lovely fish supper Saturday before going on to yet another disco. The fish was cod and for dessert  the iconic banana longboat .


Today I made, along with the marmalade, a small beef cobbler and mediumYorkshire Teabread.
All turned out well.
