Daddy’s pies

chicken-puffs.jpg

Chicken pie isn’t a typical father’s day gift. These were for H’s Daddy who has a fantastically sweet tooth. Unfortunately, after a baking spree involving chocolate, fruit, nuts and fantastic ideas. I realized that there wasn’t plain flour in the house. All I had was self raising which can be used instead. Usually you can omit the raising agent in the recipe as self raising flour has baking powder and baking soda in it. But I don’t know in what proportion. I didn’t want to risk a disaster,so thought I would play safe. So after a week long sabbatical from making anything at all, this is what I managed to dig out of the freezer.. Anyway I know Daddy loves these too.

    Shafaa.. Congrats, your very first happygrub recipe! The next I suggest are the madelines, they’re so easy and you could bake them in a muffin tin if you don’t have a madeline mould.
