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 a recipe for a plain scone with fruit. Until these Lemon and Sultana Scones. It’s a simple scone recipe, very similar to my Plain Scones recipe, although this one also uses egg to bind the dough. The lemon flavor comes from grated lemon zest. It can be quite a subtle flavor, so I’d suggest using a large lemon. Or two small ones, depending on what you have to hand. I…
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…
Ginger Layer Shortbread
I have many traybake recipes using ginger. I have a Ginger Cake recipe. And I have several other ginger recipes that involve shortbread. But why not add another one?! If you’re looking for an easy bake (it’s not altogether a…
Walnut Bars
Walnut Bars. This was a new recipe for me, although once I had cut it into squares it did look familiar. Maybe I have come across it in the past. Or maybe it’s just that the cherries/marshmallow/nuts/digestives combination is a…
Mincemeat Crumble Bars
Now, this recipe for Mincemeat Crumble Bars is really just a variation on something like a Date Slice or other crumble bar. But it’s super easy to make and tastes great. The bottom and top layers are exactly the same…
Mincemeat Swirl Scones
Sometimes you have some mincemeat sitting around. And sometimes you don’t feel like making pastry. So I came up with this recipe for quick and easy, fruity, Mincemeat Swirl Scones. It’s simply a regular scone dough mixture but instead of…
