Looks good Colin can you taste the coconut milk. As I'm not sure about the taste

That looks really good, Dave! The top looks nicely rounded - something that's evaded me so far.So here’s my first effort using Greggbear‘s recipe ........... came out well and won’t last long

Here you go Colin. The smoother you mash the potatoes the less flour you’ll need so a more potato flavour and add a bit more salt .View attachment 53955
They look great! They're on my to-make list.

Does your delivery radius include Hertfordshire?

Thanks for info Colin. Seems the men are taking over from the girls. Right girls let's see your baking picsNo, the coconut milk isn't noticeable as a flavour at all, Gerry. The 'milk' I've used is branded Alpro and has 5.3% coconut milk plus some coconut cream in it - so probably about 6% coconut overall. My next experiment will be with almond 'milk' branded Rude Health. That only has 1% almond in it and rice is higher up the ingredient list!
I have to say that I prefer the more moist texture I've got from using ~360ml coconut milk - so I'll most likely be using similar in future.

Managed to get hold of some more buttermilk, although flour still seems problematical. So attempt number 2 using Susie's recipe.

I tried to be more accurate with the measures this time and also tried to be prompt mixing and getting in the oven
Result is better than the first attempt and no broken teeth this time. Taste is improved. I shall have another go later in the week to build on this foundation before going onto the intermediate and advanced level recipes.

Thay look great. How did that taste
You paint a nice picture. I have said before I don't like sourdough bread. I got one in the lake District last year. It looked great but it wasn't to my liking. Now I have to make a confession. Was in Tesco the other day bought a nice bloomer loaf and lived it. When throwing the paper bag out I read it and it said sourdough bloomer. Yes I did laugh when I seen it. And if I had seen it when buying I would have out it back. So looks like I will have to make one. Been very lazy the past three days. Only been cutting family's grass. And some old pensioner's grass. As council aren't doing it the now. GerryThe sourdough is great, Gerry. It's plain in the sense that this one hasn't got any seeds in it.
The date and walnut loaf is dangerously good. I particularly like it with just butter (though for me that means non-dairy spread) and possibly strawberry conserve together with coffee under a (currently) blue sky!
Happy days.
