Blarney Crumbles
Blarney Crumbles. This was a new traybake for me. And even an internet search hasn’t managed to shed any light on where these come from or the origins of the name. But I can tell you that these Blarney Crumbles definitely crumble! This is yet another quick and easy traybake. It’s a simple combination of wet and dry ingredients. Spread into a traybake tin and baked until golden. I don’t have a lot of baking advice for these, because it really is that simple. Melt the butter and golden syrup. This should just take a couple of minutes, as all you want to achieve is to melt the butter. If…
Crunchy Chocolate Cakes
Crunchy Chocolate Cakes. Or rather, Crunchy Chocolate Traybake. It’s a simple chocolate cake mix, sandwiched together by a crunchy, nutty layer. Fairly quick and easy to make, it’s a simple traybake. I used hazelnuts for my traybake as I think…
Praline Biscuits
This is another straightforward recipe for a slightly crunchy, slightly chewy, nutty biscuit. Praline Biscuits. And yet another recipe that Little Miss Traybakes (and her braces) can’t taste-test for me, as they contain nuts. I suppose I could have tried…
Ginger Iced Oatcake
This Ginger Iced Oatcake is, essentially, a ginger flapjack. The base is sweet and sticky and remains a little soft, so it’s best stored in the fridge. Especially if it’s warm in your kitchen. The topping is a soft, gingery…
Lemon and Sultana Scones
I have several other scone recipes on the blog, but amazingly none for fruit scones. Well, unless you count my Date and Wheaten Scones, which are delicious. And yes, I suppose dates do count as fruit. Anyway, I didn’t have…
Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies
This Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies recipe was in one of my old recipe books. Although it was called a ‘gateau’ and was sliced in half and sandwiched together with fresh cream. With more cream on the top. I looked at the…
Date Fingers
These Date Fingers are yet another addition to the ever-growing range of date-based traybakes that are on my blog. And at first, I was a little concerned about the inclusion of lemon curd. I really wasn’t sure how that was…
Easy Lemon Curd
I do like Lemon Curd. It’s great on scones, or pavlova, or spread over a biscuit, or eaten straight from the jar with a spoon. And if I find myself with leftover egg yolks, then it’s often what I’ll make…
Irish Cream Crème Brûlée
I do love a Crème Brûlée. Definitely one of my favorite desserts. The rich, creamy custard topped with that sweet crack of torched sugar on top. However, I do often find crème brûlées to be a little too sweet for…
Homemade Irish Cream Liqueur
Obviously, the brand name version of this Homemade Irish Cream Liqueur is easy to buy. But making it yourself is remarkably simple and you have the added benefit of being able to control the ingredient proportions. So, if you want…
Aunt Edna’s Fruit Slices
I don’t have an Aunt Edna. I don’t know if this recipe comes from someone’s actual Aunt Edna. What I do know, is that this recipe for Aunt Edna’s Fruit Slices is yet another simple and straightforward traybake that tastes…
