A little domestic interlude…

A sudden need struck today for comforting baking smells to fill the house.  A batch of biscotti first, for the batch of puppy worshipping relatives descending in the afternoon.  They’ll need something to munch while Higgins puts on a show.  Then a Damp Orange Cake, which is satisfying on several levels.  You have to boil the oranges for two hours first, which smells heavenly.  In fact I would recommend boiling oranges even if you never make the cake…

About penny

I live in Norfolk, England in a cottage on the edge of the Norfolk Broads where it can be peaceful and beautiful, or wet and muddy, or occasionally wild and windswept. With me is husband Tim, Henry the elderly and opinionated tabby cat, and Higgins, the miniature dachshund with a massive personality. You’ll find me chattering on about wool and textiles, knitting and crochet, recipes, books and patterns, exhibitions and shopping and of course, the adventures of a small dog! Planet Penny has a Facebook Page, you can find me on UK Handmade and I am featured on Channel4/4Homes Favourite Craft Blog List.

    I managed to make a sponge yesterday! Unfortunately it was supposed to be a pastry crust – asparagus, leek and muchroom sponge cake! Mmmm 🙂

    Right, off to boil some oranges – I can’t get that wrong!
