Easter treats
« on: April 20, 2014, 08:00 »
No easter eggs here, but feeling the need for a decent dinner tonight with pud.  I have got gooseberry puree out of the freezer and bought double cream and strawberries yesterday, so pavlova or a gooseberry and strawberry crumble with cream  :unsure:   I've also got frozen puff pastry as another option  :wacko:

OH has been no help and has said all puds are good  ::)

That sounds like a list of ingredients for a Mary Berry Bake off recipe, with lots of layers  :lol:

Will it be a technical challenge?  :nowink:

Not with my baking skills  :lol:

That's why I was thinking pav or crumble - forgiving puds that require little dexterity  ;)

I think I'd go with gooseberry fool, perhaps with a few strawbs mashed in then a few to decorate. If you really wanted to push the boat out you could make some little biscuits to serve with it, cut in to egg/chick shapes?  :D

Depends on the dinner- we had roast chicken so needed some texture, I did crisp puff apple tartlets, although they are all too 'full' to have pud now..... but scoffing choc  ::) don't know why we bother  :tongue2:
-I'd do stawbs/jam cream puff tarts as can have them tomorrow in case  :wub:

We have roast chicken to come as OH needs roasties, or so he claims  :nowink:  :lol:  We also have the traditional British bank holiday weather - perisisting down and miserable  ::)

OH is now saying a hot pud would be just the ticket, so homemade crumble mix has been retrieved from the freezer  :)

any of the above for me , we had a leg of lamb and the usual veg but I just made an orange sponge cake with lemon curd and cream in the centre , went down well , I didn't buy eggs I just got some bags of chocolate for them , tasted nicer than the egg and that was a thorntons one .
