Lemon, Thyme & Blood Orange Shortbread Biscuits
The feeling of spring is lingering in the air and the sun is peeking out of the clouds, so I thought it was time to bake a bit of sunshine too.
These are like little parcels of citrus sitting in a thyme shortbread. The shortbread has a little ground almond in it to keep the texture short all while holding its shape. The pretty pink icing on top brings memories of party rings from my childhood. These are such a treat and perfect with a cuppa.
Three Spring Recipes
Carrot cake screams ‘spring’ to me, and by adding some golden caramel into the frosting, you have a classic with a twist that (trust me) you’ll keep reaching for. It’s also worth taking advantage of dried and fresh edible flowers right now to give your desserts an elegant and unique finish that looks really impressive. And for those of you hosting this weekend, a pavlova is the perfect dessert to prepare ahead of time; simply assemble its parts when you’re ready to plate. They’re also the ideal blank canvas for vibrant rhubarb while it's in season. Finally, in those moments of downtime, I’ll be relaxing with a moreish honey madeleine alongside an afternoon cup of tea.
