I've started this as I wanted to say what fantastic Golden Syrup dumplings. We love these and make them every time I can find an excuse to. Mum made them when I was a kid, so I think they have the title of Comfort Food for me.
Fantastic photo too Kimmy.
-
Great idea Cookie. The dumplings are making me drool and I love, love, love yorkshire pud. ;D
Thanks so much Cornish for doing this. My first thoughts were roast beef and yorkshire pud too Judy, so will have to think of something else that reminds me of home. ;D
-
We also had golden syrup dumplings as a kid, I love them and yes your right great comfort food cookie, thanks Kim for the reminder. I've never made Yorkshire pud.
-
I've never eaten golden syrup dumplings but Kim's photo makes them look so inviting. Thanks for getting the competition rolling Kim.
-
Judy you could make them for 1. They are so easy. I love your Yorkshire puddings.
-
Thanks cookie.
-
Thanks girls. I too grew up with golden syrup dumplings. It's been fun passing on the tradition to the boys who love them just as much as me. Judy I can't believe you haven't tried them yet! If you ever make it down my way, I'll whip you up a batch!!!! Having said that, I've never eaten Yorkshire pud.
-
Wow Judy I've just seen your puddings and they are huge and puffy. Do you freeze them or eat them all?
-
Thanks Kim, I ate one straight out of the pan, kept one to go with tonight's tea and have frozen the rest. I didn't think about freezing them until I saw some in the freezer section at the supermarket a few years back. Having the a/f makes it easy to heat just the 1 when I want it.

I grew up with golden syrup dumplings, and Yorkshire puddings. :)

I didn't know what a Yorkshire Pudding was until I was about 18. We rarely had beef when I was growing up as we had our own sheep to eat. Then Dad started slaughtering a beast and we had lots of delicious, aged beef as well. A very big job killing a beast though. It used to be all hands on deck for a very long day when we cut it up. My job was packaging, labelling and doing the mince. I'd love some of that meat now. More memories!!!!,
-
Meat from your own farm animals is always nice Cookie. Much better than what we can buy in the shops these days. I always hated selling any of our animals :(
-
Margaret your B and B pudding looks lovely.
I know what I'm going to make, and it has a little story to go with it. It is a dessert. DH made an enormous fruit salad yesterday so it will have to wait a couple of days.
-
Ooh Eccles cakes. I love them. They look so tasty JulieO.
-
That's another thing I've never tasted, they look gorgeous Julie.
-
Lovely Eccles cakes Julie. Another thing I haven't made in ages. This is like a trip back to my childhood. Please please, no one make junket though ......ugh!
Your cake looks nice ES. I've never heard of Parkin cake, but the flavours are definitely something I would like.
-
Thankyou Cookie, Judy and Kimmy. They were just lovely with a cuppa.
ES, your cake sounds interesting. Sounds like you had a busy day. Have saved the recipe, will have to try it. :)
Loving this competition, I hope to see more entries in the next week or two. :D
-
Your Eccles Cakes look nice Julie.
That's a nice Parkin ES. I have a GS who loves anything with ginger in it, he would be in 7th heaven with this.
Boo, your Apple Sauces looks good too. Well done posting your photo.
-
Well done on posting your photo Boo. What sort of things do you use the Apple Sauce for?
-
I'm loving all the entries and thought going into the competition. :) Well done boo on posting your first photo. 8) The cookbook is really lovely and I'm sure who ever wins them will cook loads from it.
-
Cookie1 my DH has Dutch heritage so Appelmoes (Apple sauce) is eaten just as is by the spoonful especially for breakfast. I use it as savoury sauce with roast meats like pork or lamb. I mix it with yogurt and freeze it for icypoles. It is also good as a thickener for other sauces and I also put it into cakes etc just to replace some of the sugar and eggs. I also mix it with other fruits instead of sugar to make fruit crumbles. As you can see it is a staple in this house.
-
Thanks. I could eat lots just as it is but probably for only a certain amount of time. Now I know.
-
Love your raisin & port pie cookie and the fact that it's a handed down recipe makes it all the more special for this competition.
-
Thanks Judy. It's an oldie that I haven't made for years.
-
Brilliant entry Cookie. 8)
-
I bet it tasted wonderful Cookie. :D
-
Thanks CC and yes it does, thanks Julie.
-
Cookie, your Raisin & Port Pie looks very nice.
-
Thanks Margaret.
-
I've added another picture to my entry (No. 2) of a Lancashire Hotpot I've made for tea tonight.
-
Very nice Judy.We love Hotpot. ;D
-
I love Eton Mess. It was one of the ones on my shortlist, Michelle, so it gets my ' seal of approval'!
-
The Tattie Scones look good Cuildih. These are something I have never had, must try them one day.
Mcmich, your Eton Mess looks nice too. Another one Ihave never had.
-
Mich and Marina, both your recipes look tasty. I've never tried tattie scones either.
-
I haven't had tattie scones either but would like to give them a go.
-
Great cooking and good luck to everyone.

Congratulations to our winners. You will love the book. Thanks CC for doing such a sweet thing for us.
