I’ve never been a fan of chain mail… until my wife got this one from a friend in the village.
Using a sourdough starter, a set of instructions guided Amanda through the process of making a very tasty sourdough fruitcake. And given that Herman is based on a ‘live’ mix, it is designed to be expanded and shared. It was, however, as you’ll see from the recipe, a considerable amount of work for Amanda, so she was a little reticent about spreading its offspring…
It however, was delicious, and is a crazy way of spreading baked goodness amongst your friends, if you happen to know some passionate bakers… According to Lucy it’s good with apple and cinammon and a thing to be expected in the Home Counties.
I’m wondering if my baking colleague at caketakesthebiscuit has experienced this one…
