I&#8217;ve shared lots of my recipes that use pantry staples, or don&#8217;t need a common ingredient like eggs for example, to try and help people struggling to bake with few ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Have you tried any of the recipes that have gone viral\/been popular during lockdown? <\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nI made some dalgona coffee for my boyfriend (I don&#8217;t drink coffee) and he loved it!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">What the worst bake you\u2019ve ever attempted to make?<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nA tarte tatin, I&#8217;ve tried to make it a few times, although not for a while.
