Questions
Can’t find Palmier!
In Delia's Christmas Book of recipes there was one with a photograph of parmier make from puff pastry with anchovies.
I've been looking but my search bring 'no results'.
Am I looking for the wrong name?
About the Chestnut Cupcakes?
Chestnut cups: Hi Lindsey. Baking soon and quick query on the tin! Do they require Delia’s 6 cup muffin tin and if so is it fine to bake the 2 remaining separately (this batter would be left on counter top until others bake)? Or will a standard cupcake tin work so all cupcakes bake at once?
Hope you can advise and thank you in advance.
Kindest wishes.
Heavy white loaf!
I recently made Delia's easy white loaf and followed the recipe and watched the video but it came out heavy and very chewy although the bottom sounded hollow when tapped, what went wrong please.
Perhaps you could experiment, & edit the recipe!
Fromage frais can no longer be bought in any major retailer in the UK (except in 0% fat versions), that I have been able to find. Not even in any smaller shops either - delicatessens, even specialist cheese shops. And that is throughout London, so if not here, then I imagine there's even less hope of anyone anywhere else in the country finding it. For the chocolate mascarpone cheesecake with fruit & nuts, what alternatives are there for the fromage frais, that you feel confident should work well?
Why are there no fan oven temperatures!
Hi,
When I read one of your recipes the oven temp was advised to be 200c.
I have a fan oven, so would I have to set it to 180c?
If so, wouldn't it be a good idea to have both setting to cover conventional and fan ovens?
Kind regards
Scott
Freeze uncooked!
Could I freeze this uncooked or would it be better cooked and then frozen?
