Ginger White Chocolate & Rye Cookies
I love that you bite into these cookies and hit a melty morsel of gingery white chocolate just sitting amongst an unassuming cookie dough. I think the addition of dark rye flour contrasts really well against the sweetness from the chocolate and gives these sweets a bit more body.
Simple Silky Hot Chocolate
A really easy way of making a silky and luxurious hot chocolate. This is my favourite drinking consistency; not so thick that it feels like you’re drinking liquid ganache, but not so thin it tastes too milky. I like to use a mixture of milk and dark chocolate so that you have depth of flavour as well as a little sweetness.
Espresso, Brown Butter & Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
I love banana bread as it is; but I love it even more when its warm from the oven, packed full of coffee and gooey chocolate chips. I’ve also chucked in some brown butter to add depth of flavour. The result is a beautifully golden loaf that’s humble in its rustic appearance with a light, moist slice. The recipe comes together quickly and easily without the need for a stand mixer. So if you have any spotty ripe bananas that need using; this recipes for you.
Flaky Eccles Cakes
I highly recommend making rough puff pastry for these Eccles Cakes, it makes such a difference. Although, if you’re short on time, you can always use shop-bought puff pastry. I like to make a bit of a wetter filling and leave it overnight to really mull all the flavours together and plump up the dried fruit. They’re perfect warm with a generous helping of custard or eat them alongside your favourite cheese!
Marmalade Panettone Bread & Butter Pudding
What’s better than a warming bowl of bread and butter pudding? Sub out the bread for panettone and add in a jar of marmalade! Each slice of soft buttery panettone is coated in orange marmalade before being submerged into an orange custard. Once baked, you’re left with an indulgent orange custard pudding with a crunchy demerara top.
Thyme-Infused Lemon Posset
A posset is the perfect balance of light citrus flavours and rich indulgent cream. Since the only setting agent in these is the lemon juice, the cream holds its shape but stays nice and soft. It just melts in the mouth.
