Weekend Cooking: June Bakes

It's the last Saturday of the month and that means it is time to share my baking for this month. I started doing this earlier this year because otherwise every Weekend Cooking post would be about something sweet, which might be a bit much.



Lemon and Blueberry crumble cake - This was the first of Queen Baking Club Challenges for this month, and it was definitely a winner! I'll be making this one again.




Sausage Rolls - I know that this isn't sweet but it is still baking. I have never made sausage rolls before. They have always been on my want to make list but never got  there, until now. These were a big hit in my house. The leftovers disappeared into the man-child's bedroom never to be seen again. I am planning to share the recipe for this in the next couple of weeks.

Easy Pain au Chocolate - I had a sheet of pastry leftover from the sausage rolls so I whipped up a few of these. This is a recipe that I originally found in a novel by Barbara O'Neal




Chocolate and Raspberry Self Saucing pudding - Another Queen Baking Club Challenge, this one was my birthday dessert. It was easy, and delicious, although there

White Chocolate Cheesecake - This is my go to dessert when cooking for friends. One that I have been making for more than ten years, and that my friends all fight over the leftovers.


I am also linking up to In My Kitchen hosted by Sherry's Picking

  2. The lemon blueberry crumble looks amazing, I have been craving sweets lately and with all this sitting inside for self isolation, too much can't be good. Waistline that is, LOL.

    I have never made sausage rolls either but I like them. Haven't had them in years.

  4. I can't wait for your Sausage Roll recipe. I can't count the number of times I had them for lunch when I worked in the UK. Now I have a huge craving.

  5. I'm always reading about British characters in novels eating sausage rolls. I don't even know what they are, but I want to try them! I'm definitely looking forward to you sharing your recipe :)

    1. Party pies and mini sausage rolls are perfect for any occasion Susan. When I went to book club it was as much for that as for the conversation.

  8. Homemade sausage rolls are the best. Rob makes a decent one and he had a crack the other day at making NZ-style steak and cheese meat pies. There's a local bakery that sell a pretty amazing version and he was trying to replicate that. Very good for a first attempt! Filling needs a bit more gravy, so he's definitely going to be making those again.

  13. They all look so yum! And what a great idea for the Pain au Chocolat - I might have to steal that idea as I have croissant dough in my fridge.

  14. That blueberry and lemon crumble sounds like a winner. Are you going to (or did you already) post the recipe? Sausage rolls are such a treat, no wonder they disappeared into the cave, they would have at my house as well.
