serious therapy: bread-making
We have been asked for the recipe for the biscuits: With your wooden spoon beat 8oz, 225g butter until soft. Add 4oz, 110g of caster sugar and mix well. Beat in the yolks of 2 eggs. Add 10oz, 275g plain flour and a half a teaspoon of salt. Fold in. Add a quarter of a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the same of almond extract. Mix. Put into an icing bag. Make your shapes onto a buttered baking tray. Bake at 190/375/Gas Mark 5 for about 15 minutes until golden brown.

Did this bread today. Listening to the radio,kneading the bread and waiting for it to rise is - serious relaxation - and it tastes perfect with butter and some local cheese. Doesn't the simplest of food often taste the best?

Yes, it sure does. I find that I can tell but the feel of the bread dough whether it will be a great loaf or not.

Hi guys...thanks for the recipe...do you ever cook gluten free...my son has just started a gluten free diet and so far, I am finding pastry etc disappointing
