Spiced Sticky Toffee Pudding with Brandy Toffee Sauce
If there’s one dessert that should be on your winter baking list, this is it! It’s a pretty straight forward recipe but hits big with flavour. If any of you have made this pudding before, you’ll know that softening the dates in hot water and bicarbonate of soda gives this dessert its iconic sticky texture. I’ve added in orange zest and a mixture of spices to the sponge, as well as brandy into the sauce, to ramp up your traditional sticky toffee pudding. Its rich, sticky and the perfect treat on a cold drizzly day.
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.
Traditional Cornish Pasties
Holidays by the sea, a pick me up after work, a trusty warm and delicious lunch when options are lacking - The humble Cornish Pasty.
Raspberry Jam Finger Doughnuts
Finger doughnuts are an absolute classic. They’re my go-to whenever I pop into a bakery. I can’t resist them! The fresh pillowy doughnut contrasted against sweet cream and tart homemade raspberry jam, makes for a perfect bite.
Pregnancy-Friendly Tiramisu
I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant and every single restaurant I’ve been to recently has had Tiramisu on the menu. It’s been absolute torture not being able to have any (especially when my partner still orders it!) So I bring to you, a pregnancy-friendly Tiramisu recipe: no alcohol, decaf coffee and British Lion eggs. It’s very important to use British Lion eggs as they’re safe to eat when used in a cream like this (as they’re not cooked.) Feel free to use this recipe even if you’re not pregnant and add back in the caffeine and some alcohol into the syrup.
