Other
My adsa ordered comes on Saturday and Sunday will be baking for Christmas then freeze it. I will making sausage rolls, mince pies, cranberry and orange mince pies, and later on in the week going to try and make Christmas log. I all so make cranberry and pork sausage rolls,. I would love to Try to fine something new to make for Christmas. I've done gingerbread man I would love to make a gingerbread house. Love baking the Christmas things because the kitchen smell so lovely. 
Cranberry & Pork Sausage Rolls sound good.
I knocked up this spiced Pecan Bunt yesterday, it was very nice, if a little dry
I will be making a Kransekake over the weekend, which is a Scandinavian almondy ring cake.
blacklabrador Wow! that's an amazing looking Bundt! Impressive. When you make the Kransekake please post the picture here.
Black labrador your cake looks lovely. I would love to make one. Are these easy to make I think mine would not turn out like yours. Do you have to line the tin. And did you make your kransekake .
nicolajaynehend Just a smear with butter did the trick for me, but then ours is not a fancy bunt tin so no nooks and crannies for cake to get stuck in.
I'll probably make the Kransekake Monday or Tuesday.
Hi nicolajaynehend glad to hear youโre keeping busy 
I wonโt be baking, but we got a pressure cooker/air fryer recently and hope to putting it to good use. I want to make scotch eggs for the first time 
Hspexy love scotch eggs. It's a very long time since I made them. I have a air dryer but have never done scotch eggs. Now you got me think I might try it. Hope you are keeping well.
nicolajaynehend Iโm well, thanks. Iโm hope youโre well too. Hope you have fun making scotch eggs
nicolajaynehend I knew I shouldn't have looked at the thread - I am now feeling very peckish! 
I won't be baking the usual amount of things this Christmas due to the restrictions. I hope your delivery brings everything on your list .
This is the only thing I will still make because it's never lasts very long, goes well with a hot drink and nothing is wasted.
A Nutella snowflake
kfe202 It's so simple......it's a little embarrassing! 
I'll find a link but, basically, it's a layer of puff pastry rolled into a circle spread with Nutella, a matching pastry circle on top and then cuts made, almost to the centre and twisted.
This one explains with pictures http://inspiredinthecity.com/2018/11/30/christmas-recipe-nutella-pastry-snowflake/
Sunny101 this looks lovely and tasty. Bet it will not last long. I might give it a go. I know it will not turn out like yours
I'll do my baking on Tuesday. Mince pies, date slice, cheese straws, chocolate cake, spiced fruit tray bake, toffee crisp tray bake and see what else takes my fancy to bake 
Lillyflower how do you make you cheese straws . I all ways end up buying them I've been told they are easy to do.
nicolajaynehend Really easy
100g plain flour
Pinch salt
1 tsp smoked paprika pepper
50g butter or margarine
50g Lancashire cheese, grated
1 egg yolk
A little cold water to mix
Method
Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt
Rub in the butter or margarine until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, then stir in the cheese
Add the egg yolk and then bind together, adding a little cold water to form a stiff dough
Roll out the dough thinly on a floured board and cut into 7.5cm strips. Cut each strip into thin straws
Arrange the straws on a greased baking tray and bake for 10 โ 15 minutes until golden brown
Leave the straws to firm up on the baking tray and when transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely
If you have kids the toffee crisp is easy
equal amounts of toffee, block marg, marshmallows, rice krispies - melt first three ingredients in a large pan then add krispies, spread into swiss roll tin and leave to set.
lilyflower thank you ever so much for taking the time and trouble to do this. I will do them both. When I get some flour and rice krispies. Have a lovely time baking. your kitchen is going to smell lovely.
Nina090976 that's what I have made mince and gingerbread man. Mince pies are in the freezer. Will have to make some more gingerbread man on Christmas eve.

Hollydolly22 is your marple cheese cake easy to make. I've never make one be for. But would love to give it a go. Might not turn out very good but willing to give it a try.
Lornase what kind of Christmas cookie are going to make. I love making short bread.
nicolajaynehend not sure yet, thatโs a good idea, shortbread sounds like a great Christmas bake!
I will be making some brownies - some for my brother and some for my sister as thats what they have asked for off us for Christmas! Will be making them on 23rd though
Pink elephant love brownies cant go wrong with these. And you can put all sorts in them.
nicolajaynehend i make mine as chocolatey as possible...more calories the better i also add fudge pieces!
PinkElephant26 that sounds very yummy. And why not have more chocolatey with what a year it's been. Enjoy it when you have made it.
Iโll be doing my baking for Christmas next week. Getting my last lot of groceries before Christmas on Monday so Iโll get my baking supplies then too.
Cocolgooh. Happy baking the hardest is trying to keep it for Christmas I Love baking at Christmas the kitchen smell lovely.
I really wanted to make a gingerbread house this year but due to one thing & another I'm not bothering. I'm still planning to make some sausage rolls for Christmas eve tho & a salted caramel cheesecake.
Giltterandgold like you I would love to make a ginger bread house. I've ever make one. Made loads of gingerbread man. Your salted caramel cheesecake sounds very tasty.
As I wrote in a previous post , I've made our yearly treat ( it's baked and in the larder now ) mole in dandelion sauce . It's a very cheap pie to bake , the makings are free ! 
nicolajaynehend Have you never eaten mole ? I thought everyone had tasted mole .. ?
mrgoggll no I have not eaten mole. I would not like to came to your house for a meal 
Golfforall my friend all so getting her baking this year from morrisons. She said she does not feel like Christmas this year and that's why she not baking. It's a shame she is very good at it.
Finally got around to making a Kransekake today.
I decided against the traditional ring shape, instead opting for stacked stars.
If you like Almonds or Marzipan this is a must bake.
