Great British Bake Off Bake Along – Victorian Savoy Cake
This week was Forgotten Bakes week! The bakers’ first challenge was to make four Bedfordshire Clangers for the signature bake, which is a bit like a Cornish pasty, with one end sweet and one end savoury. The pastry is made with suet and is longer and more sausage like in shape than a pasty. The […]
