Polo and Elsa have the very responsible job of being my taste testers for the Doggy Bakery (aka. Castledon's Canine Cafe) They are giving their full approval to the Pilchard cake that i've just baked - it's a hard job but someone's got to do it!  Found a nice recipe for sausage biscuits, so will be having a go at those shortly - might need to put Elsa & Polo on a diet before the Garden Party! Well, had a go at making the sausage biscuits. When I rolled the dough out it was too sticky to cut into shapes so I had to get creative. I decided to roll a piece of dough into a long sausage shape, which i then rolled up into a swirl. Very nice, I thought - they look like a savoury cinnamon swirl. Into the oven they went - the smell was lovely, like sausage rolls cooking. After the allotted time, I took them out of the oven and just fell about laughing  My beautiful sausage swirls looked like, well how can i put it politely? - dog turds! Think i'll have to go back to the drawing board on that one.....! On a positive note, Elsa & Polo LOVE them!  Going to have another go tomorrow  Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! I needed a laugh Andrea, this one hit the spot , Lol !! |
