Baking for Britain

No, not what I have been doing but the name of a brilliant Food Blog I have been reading.

Amongst the plethora of writing which are Food Blogs one stands out head and shoulders above the rest, Baking for Britain. http://bakingforbritain.blogspot.com/

This is written by Anna a Brit who sings the praises of British food, almost as a worship and this can't be bad after the poor press British food has had across the world. I had been staring to think that all all the best Food Blogs were either written by Continental Euopeans or by those from across the pond.

I love the way the writer goes into all the details of the food history and other little titbits, the wealth of information about the origins of the dish in question and the finally the recipes themselves, enough to want you, nay beg you to try them out. Give this a read, you will be pleasantly surprised.

I have paid my own homage to Britsh tradition this morning and made WH 18 cornflake cakes which now sit in the kitchen cooling. Unfortunately they are a long way short of the standard of Baking for Britain, the sentiment is there if not the execution.

Cornflake cakes

4 oz bar Cadbury's chocolate

Sufficient cornflakes to be coated with chocolate

Melt chocolate on half power in the microwave (about 4-5 mins)

Stir in cornflakes until they are covered with the chocolate

Spoon mixture into individual bun-cases

Leave in a cool place until chocolate had set.
