Up until then doughnuts were of they type that most now call a Jam Doughnut, the flattened round ball with a squirt of jam inside. What we call a Jam Doughnut, in Germany is called a "Berliner", which is why the crowd roared in laughter when Jack Kennedy declared during a speech in Berlin, "Ich bin ein Berliner", which translates to "I am a doughnut". DH had a proper jam doughnut, the round type. Cream doughnuts used to be either round and slit at 45 degrees from the top for the cream and jam, or oblong like the one I had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted March 9, 2021 #5506 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I've always enjoyed the pies from the bakery in Beechworth itself but was a bit disappointed in the one in Ballarat. The pie wasn't quite hot enough and the pastry on the base was a bit too thick and therefore hadn't quite cooked enough. The mince and potato topping were nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are bakers and bakers, but the franchises or branches of companies like Beechworth Bakeries should use the same receipes and cooking methods.

Russell21 Posted March 13, 2021 #5510 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Pies are usually a Sunday night easy feed for us. Lobster in Black Bean sauce for tonight, still leaves 2 more Crays in the freezer, We've eaten more Crays in the last few months than we have in the past 6 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goulburn to Canberra is 94 klm's and takes about 1 hour. Driving via Yass adds a bit over 50 klm's and about 45 minutes.

Affordable housing, likewise Bungendore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted March 15, 2021 #5525 Share Posted March 15, 2021 We left Melbourne this morning, just stopped at the bakery at Rosedale for a pie. One of the items on their pie menu amused me: They were excellent pies too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
