Baking

Bake and build this classic holiday favourite

After my success with the Sharp cheddar zucchini loaf a few weeks back I thought I’d try my luck at the Classic lemon loaf recipe. I read the list of ingredients and almost gasped—I had every item on hand. Wow, just like a real person who bakes regularly! You know the type, they have a spare hour or two (!) so they decide to whip up a banana loaf, a tray of muffins and some cookies.

This sugary-glazed quick bread is a handy standby. Eat it for breakfast, pack it for a snack or enjoy it as an after-dinner treat

If Celiac disease, allergies or food intolerances require you to eat a gluten-free diet, you know from experience that it can take a bit more time and planning to get your meals on the table.

I have to be honest with you: I am writing this as the scones are in the oven and I don’t yet know if this recipe turned out. I wanted to offer warm, delicious White chocolate scones to my friend and her toddler who are stopping by very soon. The next 12 to 15 minutes will determine whether she is offered scones or some cookies extracted from a half-empty glossy blue plasticized container bag.
