Cookie, hate the wind also.  I think you must have been a teacher,  all teachers hate wind because it makes the kids crazy.  Squid sounds nice and I am sure your rice pud will be greatly appreciated,  to say nothing of that lovely soup.  I toasted some crumpets for breakfast and they were a bit doughy in the center,  so cut them through to make then thinner.  Next time I make them I will divide the mixture into 4,  not 3,  and make them thinner.  Will also grill the tops to set them on the top.   a work in progress.   Once I have it right it will be terrific as the basic TMX'er's  recipe is so good.   Hope the wind drops and you continue to enjoy your holiday.

THanks JD and Cream Puff.  I spent an hour going through all my cooking books to find a red jelly slice recipe.  In the end I decided on a composite one of lemon topping and a cheese cake slice.  But here it all is,  GOOD OLD FORUM.

Made cream of celery soup and maxi crumpets from Thermomixer's crumpet recipe.  Made 3 , 23 cm. crumpets.
Quirky,  this looks fantastic.

Meant to say it is very good reheated in the microwave.

Cookie made the maxi crumpets today.   Thermomixers recipe.  Made 3 large crumpets,  which can be cut into 4 each  - 12 pieces.   Only difficulty is that bottom cooked before top dried out.  Turned them over while still bubbly.   They don't look quite the same but I think they will toast well.  I will post a photo tonight,  have to go out now.  Pan was 23 cm.,  non stick,  but with a generous coating of Rice Bran oil.  Next time I will set the top under a hot grill,  I thought this would not suit you,  but id you have a grill I think this would keep the crumpet look.   Certainly a lot easier than individual ones.

Cookie,  do you have dried yeast ?  You need some for Thermomixer's recipe.  I am going to cook some in my crepe pan tomorrow to see how they go.  Will let you know.

MJ, what great fun.  Let us know how you go.
