Questions
Buns, muffin and tarts conundrums
Hello Lindsey,
I hope you are well. I would appreciate your advice about the difference between a bun/muffin and tart tin, especially those 12 hole tins– the depth and the shape.
Many thanks in advance.
Making a smaller Simnel Cake this Easter

how do you make Simnel biscuits
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.
