Thank you for all your suggestions for recipes for our Saffron harvest. The one that tempted me most was Zoe's suggestion of Cornish Saffron Cake. I found a recipe on that wonderful blog Baking for Britain.
I'm afraid my efforts didn't live up to the brioche-like fluffiness of texture I was hoping for and eagle-eyed domestic goddesses will notice it's a tad under cooked, BUT it tastes pretty darned good with a nice cup of tea in the autumn sunshine in the garden.
I've just harvested more Saffron and there are at least three more flower buds emerging :-) There will be enough Saffron to try a savoury recipe too.

I'll be another taker for cake please. It looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blog - art and gardening! Who could ask for more :)
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty darn tasty to me but then I was never a domestic goddess.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would have recommended a Cornish fruit loaf too! Happy memories of childhood.
ReplyDeleteThanks Celia for the lovely "kicking leaves" suggestion - I will do that with my hens this afternoon. Love the look of this bread - I could just eat a slice now.

Hi everyone! You've all been very polite and made kind comments about my attempt to bake Cornish Saffron Cake. It was passable toasted and buttered but a bit 'clung' in the middle.
ReplyDeleteHi Hannah - I'm sure you could do a much better job than me at baking!
Welcome to my blog Danielle - your paintings of rooks are beautiful!
