E32 - Technical Challenge - Sheldon vs. Naan
Listen now
Description
This episode is exactly as described - Sheldon takes on a technical challenge selected by Alison and you get to cheer (and laugh) with him as he tackles it! It's on call week for Alison so Sheldon flies solo - so it's a good time for a technical! Starting off with a couple of other bakes - Sheldon got a new bundt pan. We get into the pan and the first bake in it. Results - tasty... but ... successful? You be the judge. More macaroon madness as well! Then we get into the bake. This was from Series 9 E3 (Netflix: S6E3) bread week. This season has a lot of sentimental value for Sheldon as it is the season he really discovered Bake Off and became friends with Alison. So it's an important one. Some of the best Bake Off characters are from this season. Kim Joy (Alison's favorite), Raul, Manon, Briony, and the surprise master of this technical Terry "Mr Handlebar moustache" himself! Some things sheldon learned: * The recipe on the website makes it basically impossible to make these in the allotted hour * "grilling" ... has many meanings * Ghee is basically melted butter where you skim off the undesirable stuff * Add your chopped garlic to the top after - it all just sinks to the bottom otherwise... * Coriander = cilantro * If you are gonna use the broiler - get a pan made for it * If time is your goal - know where you have to make the sacrifices Next week we get to the Celebrities episode with Alison Hammond!

Hi All - it is with mixed emotions that I am announcing that this is the last episode of Scrummy Handshakes - at least for now. Alison can't return and doing this withougt her makes me ... well... sad. Maybe the future will bring a different path, but for now, this is what I need to do. I hope...
