Great minds think... Blueberries...

Like two cogs in the same wheel, C and I go out and buy another tub of yogurt and a box of blueberries each within a day of each other... the yoghurt of course goes quickly and that leaves us with 2 boxes of fresh blueberries in the fridge for a couple of weeks...

To inaugurate a sexy new member to the kitchen...


... together with a new cookbook, Baking - from your home to mine (or was it the other way around?) by Dorie Greenspan.... I made a cake which had two elements I've always wanted to use - blueberries and crumble.

I'm not sure if it's because I adapted the measurements from US (to metric) and got the proportions wrong, but the dough felt a little funny - a bit too thick and stiff, coming together in a ball, much like bread dough... so I added some more buttermilk than asked for to thin it out... I was all prepared for things to go awry so was pleasantly surprised when it turned out pretty moist anyway. I suppose it must be one of those cakes that is supposed to be more dry and less like sponge...


Just add ice-cream and it's even better...


Cake aside, the new toy was EXCELLENT!!!!!

Look forward to using it again soon...
