Fallen off the baking wagon

We've not really been baking much in the homestead over the last couple of months as there has been a lot of building work going on.  I really didn't want to have a bowl of Sourdough fermenting on the worktop whilst demolition and re-plastering works coated the house in all sorts of airborne dust particles!   Needless to say, Herman is on arctic holiday probably until the new year.  Although one of his off-spring will no doubt make an appearance into the jolly, holiday glow of December.

We have tried, and failed, to make either gluten-free Herman scones or gluten-free Herman bread.  The gluten free sourdough so far has been working fine for cakes, muffins etc, but bread and scones just fell flat - and dense - even with extra xanthan gum and baking powder.  I shall not be thwarted tho.  As soon as the house is back in order experiments shall continue!

In the meantime tho I will post some other cooking/baking things that are successful, and firm favourites.
