One week to Christmas Eve, so this is my second last post before Christmas, and I\u2019ve been doing some baking to celebrate the festive season. Biscuits were first on my agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the biscuits, I used a recipe from an old book that used to be my Mum\u2019s. The main recipe is: breadcrumb the butter, flour and baking powder, then add ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and golden syrup. Next, knead into a ball, roll and cut. The picture of the finished product is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other bit of baking is the one mentioned in the title \u2013 a chocolate Yule Log, its wooden counterpart is mentioned in the carol \u201cDeck the Halls\u201d. This one differed from that by being very tasty, and having gold stars sprinkled on it! Yule was the pagan celebration of midwinter, and is still remembered in Scandinavia as \u201cGod Jul\u201d \u2013 Merry Christmas! The picture is also below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home-ed-in-a-shed.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_20211215_194155.jpg?resize=370%2C492&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164\" width=\"370\" height=\"492\"\/><figcaption>Biscuits<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home-ed-in-a-shed.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_20211216_195554.jpg?resize=371%2C494&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-165\" width=\"371\" height=\"494\"\/><figcaption>Chocolate log!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week I said that I still had another Nutcracker project to do and I would include it next week.
