Orange Almond Biscuits
Sometimes you just want a simple biscuit recipe that’s quick to pull together, doesn’t need to be chilled, and stays crisp and delicious for days (if you let them last that long). And these Orange Almond Biscuits tick all the boxes. The addition of orange zest and almond extract isn’t too overpowering. And there’s some custard powder mixed in with the dry ingredients, which helps to keep the biscuits crisp. Custard powder is essentially just cornflour with some color and vanilla flavoring, so it also gives an orange/yellow tint to the cookies. No major baking advice here. Just make sure your butter is out of the fridge for an hour…
Chocolate Orange Sandwich Biscuits
Chocolate and orange is one of those classic flavor combinations and not one that I have featured often on the blog (apart from this Chocolate Orange Slice). I also have a few other biscuit recipes, including the classic Traditional All-Butter…

Traditional All-Butter Shortbread
It’s a ‘back to basics’ kind of recipe this week with this Traditional All-Butter Shortbread. I realized that I had Brown Sugar Shortbread and Almond Shortbread recipes on the blog, but nothing for a simple, traditional shortbread. And this recipe…
Easy Chocolate Caramel Traybake
This Easy Chocolate Caramel Traybake is probably the easiest – baked – traybake that I have ever made (Fifteens probably wins the easiest no-bake traybake category). When I was making the video of this for my YouTube channel, I had…
Crunchy Topped Squares
Now, there are probably many traybakes that could be classed as Crunchy Topped Squares, but this one is actually called that. It’s a simple sponge cake layer on the bottom with a crunchy, almost flapjack-like layer spread on top. As…
No-Bake Chocolate Mallow Pie
You might look at this pie and think that I’ve strayed from my usual, easy, traybake recipes. But this No-Bake Chocolate Mallow Pie is essentially a traybake disguised as a tart. It’s a simple Digestive/Graham Cracker base topped with melted…

In need of a really simple, quick, no-bake traybake? Then these No-Bake Chocolate Date Krispies definitely fit the bill. Yes, you have to wait for the chocolate to set, but because it all comes together so easily, you can have…
