A look at my place and you know I love baking.
Though I cook out of necessity I bake as I
love baking, the challenge it represents!
Since I do not follow instructions, even
with the blessed recipe lying in front of me, I manage to skip steps. If I try
and memorise the recipe, I cannot. I lay out all the ingredients in front of me
in the order it is needed but manage to forget something important!! So baking
a challenge as tall as the Mount Everest for me.
My earliest recollections about baking are
beating sugar and “benni”, unsalted homemade butter in a big bowl with a ladle.
The edges of the ladle hurt for I used to beat continuously for 15-20 minutes. Then
the charge of beating it went to my sister who did it for another 15-20
minutes... hard muscle work but the thought of the cake kept us going and try
and beat longer and better that the other.
Then in Enid Blyton we, sister and I, read
about licking the bowl clean... J ! You guessed right we started eating the
batter raw after it was transferred to the mould, on the sly! Because Amma would
have had our hide for licking bowls and ladles! J
After all this you may be surprised that I
have never guest hosted a bake event.
Well that is to change now for the ever popular Bake Fest is
to be guest hosted by me this September!
