I like Wednesdays, because I get to take the little people to school & pick up - (ok, more like a mad dash & drop in the morning), but in the afternoon I get the chance to natter to the other mums.
Enough Chatter Lydia! & down to baking.
To try & be a good wifey, I have decided to make G's Valentine pressie myself (& I get to use my new toy in the process....)
Its a twist on Nigella's Cheesy Feet recipe.
Chuck 50g Plain flour, 25g Soft Butter, 100g grated cheddar (I use extra strong..) & 1/4 tsp of baking powder into a mixer....
Add the special Valentine ingredient - 1 tbsp of dried chilli flakes....
And whizzle together, until the mixture binds....
(This piccy is just an excuse to flaunt my mixer with her latest accessory....)
Wrap & rest in fridge for 15 minutes....
Then take out, roll to about 3mm thick & cut....
Bake at 200 (lower for a fan, I do mine at 170) for about 10mins, or until a pale golden brown.
Giving me time to revamp a coffee jar....
& eat these.... well creativity needs feeding doesn't it??
Remove & put on baking tray to cool....
Then pop in nicely trimmed coffee jar....& Ta-Da!!
Happy Valentines G - something red hot to knock your socks off!
Love from Lydia xx
