This weeks Great British Bake off saw batter week. Yorkshires, pancakes and churros. Watching the show always makes us want to stuff our faces with everything they bake so we’ve been doing a little early morning surfing and pulled out 3 recipes/articles just incase you fancy a spot of GBBO inspired baking this weekend.
Churros
Have a go at this basic recipe from BBC Good Food, complete with chocolate dipping sauce – what’s not to like.
Yorkshires
We just know we are gong to be playing with yummy Yorkshire pudding fillings this month. To get our mouths watering (as if they weren’t already) we’ve asked our franchisees what they’d fill theirs with – heres what they said:
Helen – Petersfield and Chichester
“Hmm I think I would liked to try smoked salmon, and a sweet one would be great – say chocolate and hazelnuts!”
Gwen – Camberley and Farnborough
As a veggie I’ve never really thought of doing that. Having just googled for ideas I’m now dying to try this – Brie and mushroom…yummy!!
Pancakes
Who’s have thought you could make a lace pancake. Until last night we didn’t even know they existed. This got us thinking – what else can you do with a humble pancake. Well guess what we’ve found out. Read on for 24 things you never thought to do with pancakes HERE
