I made scones a few days ago and always make my own Yorkshire puddings. I'd never buy either as they're so simple to make and, I think, taste better homemade.
What do you make that most other people just buy? And why? Is it the joy, the money saving, or the better quality of homemade? This doesn't just have to be food, I know some people are very crafty. |

Do you use self raising flour for your Yorkshire pudding? If not, give it a try sometime 
Outside of work i don’t make anything anyone else would want |

Food always. Mainly because of allergies but I'd be even fatter if I didn't cook from scratch. Hanging baskets/floral arrangements/garlands/wreaths. I'm already planning this year's Christmas wreath.
Thanks grandma for teaching me such important life skills.  |

Pancakes oh my god I want pancakes so bad right now.
Why do people buy them ready made, they're awful and so easy to make?
I remember once I got a breakfast in Frankie and Benny's and it was literally a stack of premade pancakes. Just dry and tasteless. Nasty.

I cannot make pancakes to save my life. I just can't do it. |

Aran jumpers.
I love how the patterns give my brain a workout and knitting is good for dexterity too!
Also food, pancakes, sauces and onion gravy from scratch. |

Convenience food is invariably disappointing. I can't even deal with it. |

I always get confused as to why anyone buys those packets of pancake mix. Essentially it's a bag of expensive flour. |

"Pretty much all food, but bread’s a big one. I stopped buying bread nearly three years ago and bought a stand mixer instead."
I love fresh bread, but we do buy most of ours. We get through so much it would be too time consuming to bake all of it ourselves |

"I'm currently making a cardigan because an off the peg one in the style I want is waaay out of my price range"
I do wish I could make my own clothes. I'm fairly useless with much more than sewing on a button unfortunately. |

I just do a couple of loaves a week."
A loaf can last us a day, maybe two. My kids could live off bread if I let them. |
