Love the pancakes and very excited about the laminations. Actually I just love all the recipes
Hehe thank you!! xx
Ooh, this looks amazing. I cant wait to give these a go. I would never have thought to use water and cacao and heat to then coat the sponge. Brilliant idea! Thanks heaps for your creativity and sharing 🙂
Thank you lovely!! x
Hello Ladies, glad to find the lamington recipe. Can’t wait to try it. I do have a request for printing the recipes – would it be possible to remove the photo for printing? The photos are very large and photos take up a tremendous amount of ink especially when printing on regular paper as one would print a recipe. I don’t like wasting so much ink; I’m sure I’m not the only who has this thought.
I love your recipes. I have all your books. And I love the two of you . You are SUPER!!! Thanks for all you do.
Thanks sharon, i agree! we have asked our IT guy if theres any way of adding a ‘remove images’ option in the print screen, im pretty sure ive seen that somewhere before, it just depends if our website is compatible with that option
Thank you. That would be great as I have the same issue with printing excess
in final stages of development now 🙂
My hubby will be wrapped if I make these, as he has always wanted me to make lamingtons from way back, & I refused as too messy! Ha! These maybe too I guess! I copied recipe & pasted, then changed some lines as to make it one page, then copied pic & resized it at the printer info, if that helps! 🙂
Sounds wonderful Pam, i cant wait to hear how you go! We are working on a new recipe plug in with a much more printer friendly printout so hopefully by the next time you go to print a recipe it will be even easier for you 🙂
