the new sourdough starter was on a home grown apple

excellent for vigor and taste

the black bread was/is very nice(posh polish style), rye and a bit of white hovis hard wheat flour
several crude sugars and the appropriate aromatics available in the spice draw
it was missing the aniseed, next time i will ignore the small pepper content and use some 5 spice as part of the mix

the next brew is buckwheat and spelt and a little hard wheat flours
this one could go bread or pancake fiesta
an emergency st pancake day does have some appeal as 1 we missed the official one and 2 it is carbs weather and 3 all the family like my pancake style:lol:

ps there might be quite a few, they freeze well for later use if separated by a bit of baking paper(the paper can be reused or recycled)

the fruit in gin is one saucy option but i am rather minded towards my spiced dead animals stack thing
rather than roll one at a time build a stack and cut it like a cake
mixed but compatible fillings in a layered stack are rather nice

ps i normally fold meringue beaten egg white to the batter just before cooking and do the oil in oil out pan thing rather than adding a little oil for each cake

the steel crepe pan (it is french and has a bee motif) is very different to using a frying pan for the job

I have never tried crumpets as I have never bothered buying the rings. The yeast and other rising agent have to be carefully balanced don't they, otherwise they taste bicarby.

I think it is the combination that makes them fluffy. I take it the experiment was a failure then. Well at least you know.

the experiment was perfect, i have not got the good method yet but i have eliminated a few bad ones

experimental cooking has lots of "failures" then you find the perfect way

All experiments can go that way, unless you hit on the perfect method first time.
