What's your favourite thing to bake?
I love baking!! I don't always have a chance to bake, or the energy, but it's one of my hobbies I enjoy most!
Yesterday I baked two kinds of cookies and then shared them with a couple neighbours and brought my parents a bunch. It was so nice to spend some time baking again and be able to share my treats with others.
My favourite thing to bake are one of the kinds of cookies I made yesterday...Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies. So easy, yummy and to top it off gluten free!!
What things do you enjoy baking most?
Hmmm... either pound cake (not the American kind, the Dutch kind, mind you) or apple pie (again, the Dutch version). They're traditional Dutch foods that you often have with coffee around three/fourish?? It's just that everyone can make it, and everyone has their own recipe that goes down generations! Everyone has their own twist on the classics and there's a lot of things you can do if you feel like spicing your recipe up a little. That's what I like about it 
@JayTheBird14 those sound delicious! I'd be curious how they differ from the typical "american" versions.

Hi, thanks for asking and showing interest
The Dutch pound cake, we just call 'cake', I have found is a lot lighter (I suppose we whisk the eggs more??) and also a little drier than the American version. We also like to add either lemon or orange zest to the cake. Because it is drier we often eat it with whipped cream on top. Kids like to use sprinkles and candies on their wiped cream too, I always remember decorating my pound cakes when I was little, on birthday parties for example.
Kinda looks like this afterwards lol!
I suppose the difference in apple pies is that the Dutch one is very classic (my grandma is so strict about it!). You're always supposed to use green apples (looks prettier with the colours), you caramalize the apples but don't use any caramel (again, my grandma would go nuts) and you always ALWAYS add raisins. And loads of cinamon. Which is why I love this pie so much because I'm just a sucker for raisins and cinamon hahaha.
I baked some seafood fillets last night... they were delicious. Another thing I used to love were these baked zuccini sticks with parmesan cheese... :)
@philosophicalShip9444 those zucchini sticks sound delightful!! I can't do seafood due to an allergy, but I'm sure those are mighty tasty too!
@Moj they are super simple to prepare too. Give them a try sometime :)
Pastries!
@CoinFountain yum!!! What type of pastries are your favourite?
@Moj
Cream puffs
Quiche
Once I found Apple pie with the custard recipe on http://verytasty.us/ and tested it out, it has become my favourite thing to bake. I have heard of other forms of custard pie (or cream pies), but apple custard pie is something I had not seen before or since. It's very unusual still delicious
