is there anything that i can make without baking and simpler recipes please? That would be useful as i would like to try the french toast but the process would take too long especially since it would only be my second time baking but the first time( it was a vanilla mug cake) my mum helped me so it doesnt count.

I’m salivating just looking at all the recipes! Will try the Churro French Toast, it looks like the perfect combination. Saving the pumpkin scone recipe as well, the fall season is pretty near.
