Do you remember licking the beaters when your mum or grandmother baked? Apparently John was notorious in his family for hovering around the kitchen to position himself favorably. His mum always gave him the beater to lick. He remembers being photographed by passing motorists standing at the gate doing just this, they actually sent his parents a print!
This past weekend at Struan Farm I whipped up a quick batch of cupcakes for morning tea, and I needed two boys to lick the beaters after I made lemon curd cream cheese icing. Charlie and Henry hadn't actually licked beaters before, so I needed to explain what to do.
Clearly only something that needs to be explained once in a lifetime! Hopefully not a lost art either given the recent resurgence in home baking.
