Kentucky Derby Pie in the oven (one of a big batch for a catering gig tomorrow. It’s essentially a choc and walnut tart in a pastry case with a double shot of Jim Beam Pre Prohibition Bourbon in each one. 

 

What's not to like.  Looks fantastic. :good:

I also have more yeast than I can realistically use so if anyone wants some send me a message

500g of dried yeast obtained - £7.50 but now on my last kg of Canadian flour   If you wrote this story at school, you'd get the cane.

if anyone is interested 10kgs of flour (plain and self rising) at Aldi for £3.99. Don't know if it's any good. No bread flour that I could see.

Wonder if peeps are panic buying........again.   Not sure if yer neighbours cakey combo is intentional, or if she's got a well smudged cookbook, but, if it tastes good who cares.  :good:

A couple of news channels have been helping peeps empty the supermarket shelves by showing empty shelves in supermarkets recently.
