I often wonder who does all the washing up on Bake Off. We never see any bottles of fairy liquid, or draining boards, on the contestants' benches.

I used a mix of flax seeds and ones with sunflower,pumpkin etc, cheaper than pure flax seeds, so see how it goes. If doing it with the cheaper would be different carbs I suspect

Don't be silly - I'm pretty sure Mary, Nigella, Jamie etc etc have all made enough dosh to invest in dishwashing machines. It's similar to none of the food - flour or sugar for instance - coming to their kitchen in a packet with 'Homepride' or 'Silver Spoon' emblazoned thereon.

It must be expensive and take up one helluva lot of room to store all those little containers with pre-weighed amounts of this that and the other in them, don't you think?

Eldest step-daughter is a chef and I'm more than happy to be her Commis when she offers! - Yep that's what a Commis Chef does - sets up the ingredients and clears up after - just wish I had one is all .......

 

[chaoticcar]

I try to dissuade my husband from cooking very often because he uses every pot and pan ,plate ,dish knife ,fork and spoon and I cannot possibly expect him to wash up after all that cooking !

Was a bit too dry so if using that mix will put more liquid in, but birds will get stuff that stuck in pan. Also egg yolks uses to make wee egg, cheese, bacon muffins. Will have to buy non stick pan for loaf though

Looks fine Carol
I always coat the inside of the tin with butter, usually falls out

 

[Carolg]

I sprayed it with rapeseed oil. It’s an old pan which was my mum,s . Maybe a bit dry as I run out of olive oil and used some rapeseed oil. If I don’t eat it, the birds will. Will try butter next time. Oh and it took a bit more than 30 minutes to cook
Just had a wee slice with butter. Tastes like rye bread, but nice. Think birds will just have to make do with crumbs

It should have done very little to your BG Carol

 

[Carolg]

It didn’t vince in fact, I did 10 mins on exerciser-lazy witch and walked to shops and carried 2 bags back. Really good food day, and BG 5.5 2 hours after bacon egg and wee slice of flax bread. Lowest it’s been since before Xmas. If only I didn’t.t have to work

I make the diabetic online one with 5 eggs and 2 cups of ground flaxseed bread but it’s a bit dense. Could you post your recipe please? Sounds like you use whole seeds which might be nicer

Thats the one I make Sally. Have to ensure the eggs whites are really fluffy or it can be a little dense
