1st Craving

I got the first craving for baking on Thursday.

I had a fridge full of blueberries, and a bowl full or bananas going off, so I figured I'd make muffins or cake or crumble or both.

I decided to go to ASDA and buy in a load of stuff. FLour/ sugar/ eggs/ fruit, etc.

Then first thing I made was a peach and caramelised strawberry tart. It was good. The only thing that wasn't good, was the dimensions of the only cake tin I had in the house - 9" x 4" round.

I also ended up finding a recipe for blueberry and banana crumble bread. It ended up being more of a gooey pudding, which was not what I was after.

I tried it again, only this time I reduced the sugar by 3/4, changed to flours I was using (wheat allergy), and tried again. Unripened bananas this time. Worked out OK, but this time the middle was uncooked.

I tried again. This time I swapped blueberries for strawberries, rejigged the quantities of flour again, changed sugar quantities and then turned up the heat for longer.

Worked out great and I really like it, but I know there's something missing..

My husband has asked me to give it a few days before I change things around again! :)
