Grocery Budgeting Part 9
Baking- is it worth the time and the effort?

Today I made a batch of pikelets  to have with our homemade bread for dinner.

Here's my recipe ( makes 30 large pikelets).

3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
5 cups flour
5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 cups milk

Beat eggs and sugar together until thick. add all other ingredients and mix well. Fry in a little butter- yum!

This would cost me less than $1.50 to make. With our homemade bread 1/2 loaf- a frugal meal of around $2.50-$3( including toppings- jam etc).

Each week I bake for our snacks during the week and it's still worth the effort even though butter has REALLY gone up in price. I can bake enough for our afternoon teas and suppers for about $3.50. This would cost me quite a lot more if I bought ready made biscuits and cakes.

I love being a stay at home mum with our six beautiful children from the Lord. Each day we strive to live faithfully for Him in thankfulness for His gift of full and free salvation.
