I made this today to have after tea.  It didn't 'set' as such but was a nice creamy dessert.

Luckily my son had a jar of decaffeinated coffee as we don't drink instant, but there was still enough coffee flavour. 

Only made half the recipe as only 2 of us tonight and it made enough to fill 2 glasses.  Quite refreshing really and served with a swirl of whipped cream and some chocolate shards.

Will make again for sure. Thanks again isi.   ;D

Good  work Judy.  Bron's recipe is the best I've tried.  I'm liking only making one or two jars at a time for our consumption, like you say I do because I can.  ;D

Babymaker, after the first rise in the TM bowl, I set on Interval speed  for 1 minute, removed from bowl and shaped into rolls, put onto trays and let rise again for about 10 mins as they then seemed ready to bake.  :)

I thawed 2 out to have with our lunch JulieO - they were fine. You didn't let the dough sit in the TM bowl any longer after you did the second kneading? Just went straight into the making of the bun shapes then left to sit for the 10 mins on the tray as stated?

Yes, just the 10 mins because I think I left the dough sitting just a little too long in the bowl for the first rise.  When I came into the kitchen to check it, it was like an eruption out of the hole  :D, That's when I eased it back into the bowl and kneaded for the minute and it was all nice and mixed in again.  Then made into rolls and left just for the 10 mins and then baked.  They came out fine.  Next time I won't let it rise as much for the first rise, but it certainly didn't do them any harm.  :D

Chookie, I used 2 tsp  :)

Thermomixer, even better is that it does its first rise in the bowl, so don't even need to put it back into the bowl to give it the knead.  :)

Judy, I baked for about 10 more mins I think, about 30 mins all up.  I just kept checking until they looked about done. Also let them sit on a rack to cool down which would have helped to dry out a bit more too.

Have put 3 aside to have with tea and wrapped the remainder individually and put into freezer.  Be interesting to see how they are after freezing but am very happy with these.  :)

Glad that you liked it Cookie.  First time I make anything I usually find things that I will change the next time and make notes for myself. 

Frozen berries can give out a fair bit of liquid, but maybe because I didn't overfill my tin and it wasn't completely covered in pastry  allowed it to dry off enough so I didn't have that happen to me?  Not to worry, I'm sure you'll perfect it to suit yourself next time.  Thanks for reporting back.  :D

Couldn't resist making these this morning to have for lunch, they looked so easy, and they were.

I wanted lunch size, so I made slightly larger rounds and got 10 out of this dough.  I had some shaved smoked turkey which I put on them and we each had one for lunch.   So nice.  The only thing I will alter is reduce the  sugar just a little, but not much.  I experimented in that I only used wet hands on some and not others and found that the ones I did turned out lovely and golden. 

I used just over half of white flour and the rest wholemeal, and didn't add seeds to the dough just on the top. (sunflower & pumpkin was all I had).

Because they don't take long and are so easy to make I think next time I will make half the quantity and make into 4 rolls to have for lunch.  I am thrilled with this recipe, thankyou isi.  ;D

forgot to say, after the first rise, I kneaded on Interval speed for a further minute before carrying on with the recipe.

Isi, that looks wonderful!  I love the idea of raspberry & apple, another combo to try.  I'm so glad you liked it, thankyou for reporting back.  ;D

Gralke, that looks fantastic! I like how you have practically covered the whole top with pastry, I will do that too next time as there is enough pastry.   I was already planning on making it with all apple because I love apple pie more than any other.  I bet rhubarb & apple would be good too (especially with custard)   :D

Please report back if you make a savoury version, I'd love to hear about it, and good save re the egg.  ;D

Continuing on with clearing out the freezer, today we had cottage pie.  Had some extra veg left over from last night's meal so added that to the filling even though I add a fair bit of veg to it anyway, so only had to make mashed potatoes to pipe on the top of individual pots.   :)

Yum sounds good.  I'm actually in the process of making my own limoncello.  Takes a total of 80 days, am on the 2nd lot of 40 days at the moment so will be ready early next month.  Will have to try this recipe when it's ready.  ;D
