I really love plain shortbread, but I decided to add ginger to this one and also because I’m always making cakes for my Dad and brother, and my mum doesn’t always want to eat them, so I made her something she’d like!
Overdoing it.
Sorry for the lack of a post today, up until now that is. We’ve been at Goodwood Festival of Speed today for the Moving Motorshow, we’re not there over the weekend, but got the tickets for free so decided to go along. We all had a brilliant day and we’ve just got home. It’s been…
