Hazelnut Frangipane Mince Pies
I think these may become a yearly bake for me. Golden, crisp, flaky pastry with nutty hazelnuts and a punchy, perfectly spiced mince meat. Let’s not forget the obligatory sprinkling of little crunchy demerara sugar too.
Retro Trifle
I can’t think of many other things as inviting as massive bowl of Trifle. It’s just itching to have a whopping great spoon dug into all those layers. It’s definitely one for a large gathering. It may seem like a lot of effort to make this delicious dessert from scratch but trust me, it’s worth it (especially as it’s spread over 2 days.) Feel free to have some freedom with the flavours and choose whichever berries are in season!
