December round-up - Cranberry-Oat Sourdough Scones

This month's FFTO challege was hosted by Anet from Waiting for Good Dough. Some FFTO members have been working on a sourdough starter so this was a perfect opportunity to use some of the starter in sweet baking. For the FFTO members who didn't have a sourdough starter to hand and alternative recipe using buttermilk was used.

December is always a busy month for bakers so a big thanks to everyone who took part this month.

November round-up - Kiflice

This month's challenge was hosted by Maja (pronounced Maya) alias mamajac from Cooks and Bakes, who lives in Belgrade, Serbia.
I decided to challenge you to prepare and try one of our family recipes, for super soft mini cheese rolls. Cheese rolls we use to call kiflice are very popular savory little treats here in Serbia. They are usually served as a starter at family meetings, or as a finger food at parties and they are standard offer at city bakeries. Almost each family has it's variation of the recipe, and I'd like to share mine with you.
Thank you to everyone who took part this month.
