Lintwaite was the testing ground for savoury buns. My other half most definitely approves, but he also came with constructive criticism - which I am listening to (mainly because I agree with what he said). Photos to follow!

Here's a brief language lesson related to this evening's baking project. Gingerbread biscuit in Swedish is "pepparkaka" - word for word that's "pepper biscuit".
But don't worry, there has not been pepper in Scandinavian gingerbread since medieval times.

To cut a long story short, I made gingerbread dough, which will be ready to use tomorrow evening.

My other half can testify to the copious amounts of work needed for the dough... I will definitely be rewarding myself with a generous chunk of the dough tomorrow. Actually, it's so good I might just eat it all, but that would mean a lot of work and no biscuits to show for it. We'll see how it goes tomorrow night... Pictures to follow!

Cinnamon buns and saffron buns.

So, it's December and this mornings saffron buns made me get into that Christmas feeling. This means that I will be making gingerbread biscuits shortly. Let me know if you want a tub of home made a-pain-to-make-but-totally-worth-it biscuits.
