Chocolate Orange Brownies

 

 Gooey, rich chocolate brownies with a hint of orange and studded with chunks of Terry’s chocolate orange. This brownie recipe is so simple. Melt and mix basically. Only one bowl necessary. The hardest part of this bake is deciding when the brownies are cooked. Remember – brownies are better gooey, so err on the side […]

Cheese and Thyme Scones

 

 Welcome 2021! I am delighted to be sharing this recipe as my first of this brand new year. These scones are flaky and buttery and so morish. Packed with cheddar cheese and fresh thyme. I would be delighted if anyone served me these as afternoon tea. The key to keeping these scones flaky is to […]

No-Bake Banoffee Cheesecake

 

 Buttery digestive biscuit base, layer of rich caramel, banana, cheesecake filling and topped with whipped cream and chocolate flakes. A delicious, easy no bake dessert. I had always assumed that the Banoffee Pie was an American dessert, but apparently it was invented in Sussex, England in the 1970s. Who knew?! Everyone loves a banoffee pie. […]

Small-Batch Cinnamon Rolls

 

 Nothing quite like waking up to a warm cinnamon roll on a weekend morning. These cinnamon rolls are prepared the night before and the recipe makes 3/4 cinnamon rolls – perfect for a couple/small family. Most cinnamon roll recipes make 12. Now don’t get me wrong, I love them, but when you’re not feeding a […]

 Malteser Cheesecake – malted milk biscuit base with a malt flavoured double chocolate cheesecake filling! A real crowd pleaser! And all no bake. I asked Instagram what flavour I should make as the first no-bake cheesecake on my blog, and Maltesers was the front runner! Not complaining about that. This certainly isn’t a health food, but […]

Sour Cream Banana Bread

 

 Banana bread had a serious moment in early lockdown. Apparently web searches for “banana bread recipe” in April soared 600 percent! Everyone was looking for ways to feel better and comfort themselves. Baking can provide that comfort for some people. Recently I’ve done a bit of reading on why this is the case and there […]

Bakewell Blondies

 

 Gooey blondies flavoured like a classic Bakewell, laced with jam and topped with flaked almonds. This are such an easy recipe to bake. The most difficult part of baking these blondies is judging when to take them out of the oven. Remember with blondies or brownies, it’s better to be a bit underdone than overcooked. […]
