I threw away fructose (it was sugar made from fruits). I had no idea that white sugar contained also fructose... Thank you! <br />I will start making more savoury cakes for Christmas this year :-) Maybe I will think of a new mixture of ingredients... It's endless really keeping the same batter recipe. If you prepare them from my recipe, make sure you add either curd/fresh cheese or silken tofu, otherwise it will be dry. (Other recipes add lots of oil to make it moist). Good luck! I hope you will enjoy experimenting with cakes and I'm sure you will end up making very original versions (herring???)Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-50714956077569938132012-11-07T23:28:35.898+01:002012-11-07T23:28:35.898+01:00You gotta be careful with herbs in bread - some he...You gotta be careful with herbs in bread - some herbs just don't lend themselves well to baking at all... I think the best are probably rosemary, sage, oregano and thyme (well - all the oily herbs, but especially those in my opinion). Still need to make a sourdough starter though.

Fructose is a sugar found in fruit, honey and fruit juice. So white sugar has both fructose and glucose. I don't know how much glucose it contains - I suspect quite little. I think you threw away glucose which is probably good. I remember glucose as a white powder from long time ago, haven't seen it in ages.<br />I remember your savoury cakes - its on my to make list:)Three-Cookieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616627712817566828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-86867803434316383382012-11-07T12:26:59.848+01:002012-11-07T12:26:59.848+01:00I love the look of those chiffon cupcakes and love...I love the look of those chiffon cupcakes and lovely to see them square rather than round.

As for sugar, isn't it fructose rather than glucose then? Actually I have a medecine-related scientist in my family who said that fructose is worse than glucose (i.e. white sugar) for people who watch their weight or/and diet because it transforms itself much quicker and more efficiently into body fat. Of course fruits have vitamins, fibers.... but if someone lacks energy (we need sugar for energy) it's better to have just white sugar. I still remember the time when fructose was "à la mode" as a sugar replacement in pastry because it's sweeter and people would use less of it. When this scientist saw it in my cupboard she said I had to throw it away! <br />Anyway, I always admire people who bake bread. I don't because its sounds very complicated, long and most of all I would be afraid to eat the whole bread alone (my husband is not as addicted to carbs as I am!). The dried tomato one sounds fantastic and reminds me of this http://www.withaglass.com/?p=10283 (it's not a bread, but it's savoury and delicious!).Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-43247932052481576992012-11-07T07:42:48.755+01:002012-11-07T07:42:48.755+01:00Healthy or not, good or bad.

Had a lot of sun-dried tomato focaccia in Italy some time ago, loved it and tried to make it at home. It's good but somehow not the same. I believe you're correct to say it could be the environment and mood that could have affected our taste for that moment. Or, it could well be the quality of the flour and other ingredients ... oven too!<br />Ooo ... Sonia's Hokkaido cakes. I've made those (the earlier basic one, not these strawberry ones) and enjoyed them too quickly and forgot all about pictures :)pinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425142391134523753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-11678042952853188222012-11-07T04:56:25.602+01:002012-11-07T04:56:25.602+01:00Thanks for choosing my Hokkaido chiffon cupcake as...Thanks for choosing my Hokkaido chiffon cupcake as your favourite!Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05419159376275343283noreply@blogger.com
