A message from Gavin (Jules' husband):
I'm deeply saddened to announce that Jules passed away this week after a long health journey.
For Jules, creating in the kitchen was one of her most dearly loved things, seconded by sharing her creations with family & friends.
One of her last messages to me was an update on her research and efforts to get a 'Thank-you' cupcake to all those in her life who shared her passions and supported her through her health journey.
So on behalf of Jules:

Today, I whipped up a giant choc chip Smartie cookie!!! It was crunchy on the bottom, gooey on top and chocolatey and fudgey all over!!! 😋😋😋
We mixed the caramelised butter and sugar, stirred in the flour and egg, dropped over the chocolate melts and Smarties and let it sit in the frying pan for 20 minutes while we did other things as it cooked!!
We carefully cut it into slithers for sensible small hands portions at afternoon snack time 💜🍪

THIS is a 🥞🥞🥞 PANCAKE TRAY BAKE!! 🥞🥞🥞 Mix up the pancake batter, drop in some warm goey jam and peanut butter, then marble it through, before popping it into the oven for twenty minutes. SLICE it up like pancakes and EAT IT!! With a bit of freshly whipped cream on the side 😋 Pancakes in a flash while you're spending quality time getting dressed and being with the kids instead 💜
I've discovered Nadiya Hussain, on Netflix. She's got at least 2 shows, where she melds unusual things together but comes up with delicious things that still make sense!! 🥥🍇
🥫 She also isn't shy showing us how to use a good tin of whatever is in the back of the pantry, or doubling up or doing things a little more on the cheap, in order to support a large hungry family. She's refreshing and fun in her presentation.
Next time, I'd try a chocolatey biscuit base and perhaps mix up my jam flavours 🍒, or even drop in peanut butter cups 🥜 instead of choc drops 🍫 The possibilities are ENDLESSSSSSS!!!!

My beautiful mum took on the ANZAC BISCUITS duties, in my absence, today. She uses the Classic Women's Weekly Cookbook recipe for perfect biscuits. Maybe I'll get home to make some this afternoon.
Tonight we begin the Adelaide Bakes Big Bakers Bootcamp, which is always a lot of fun and can be done in hourly catch ups through the days until next Sunday. Maggie is an absolute champ, she takes takes the time to teach all the why's and science around what's making your baking tick 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for keeping the kitchen turning over across the weekend mum!!!

Mmm Nigella's Rosebud Madeleines! 😍 These were even quicker and easier to whip up than yesterday's jam doughnut muffins 😋 I used the larger mold, instead of the teeny teaspoon-sized one, which meant I undershot the sizing but overshot the cooking time. I don't think anyone's taste buds noticed though. They were gone in a flash.
Watch this space for traditional biscuit cookery this weekend 😋

Jam Muffin Doughnuts! These Nigella doughnuts are really very quick to make and are perfect for small hands as school pick up snacks!! And they are extra special when you make then in love heart shapes 😁
I filled mine with raspberry jam and covered lightly with cinnamon sugar and melted butter as soon as they came out of the oven ❤️❤️❤️ They don't look like much until you bite into that sweet gooey centre!

I've found my favourite banana bread recipe so far! It's another Donna Hay, because her website is pretty and it just leads you down the rabbit hole of easy and delicious looking tasty treats.
It's super simple, with no rum-soaked sultanas, or 'not-safe-for-school' nuts, or any other faff. The crumb was light and nice, with a just thick enough crust. It also lacked that cloying sweetness that other banana breads have when there's too much brown sugar or syrup, etc.
I highly recommend this one!!! There's only half left, from a fresh bake this afternoon, but it'll fill some school lunch boxes for a few days at least 😁

Today I made vanilla ice cream and 🍫 chocolate ice cream for the team. It was the easiest recipe and it makes the most creamy and delicious custard. Despite trying to make a reduced quantity, I still ended up making and serving up WAAAAY too much sugar for my small people. We knew we were in for a lot of activity and noise post-consumption!!
Aside from their clear enjoyment of the finished product, one of the best parts was when I had just opened the waffle cone packet and youngest was so impressed he asked if I'd made them, with such amazement in his voice. 🍦He was so impressed. I DID dip the ends in chocolate and sprinkles, and make my own freckles, though 😁 I love a simple touch that looks impressiver than it is.
We expect to be up until midnight helping the kids to settle down for sleep 😴 so in our house ice cream is a sometimes-food and we made a conscious choice. Hopefully the dog can keep chasing them around the garden for a while longer before she needs a nap.
I use an Aldi ice cream machine - it's pretty small capacity. Do you have a favourite ice cream recipe/machine? 🍦🍦🍦

These HCBs are SO EASY to make. But don't take your eyes off them for a second!! Despite being slightly overdone 🤨 they were awesomely delicious and a pleasure to share at a family lunch today. I love being able to make extra to share with our besties
