Mocha Squares
Chocolate and coffee is such a classic combination. These Mocha Squares have a chocolate flavoured base (from the cocoa powder) and are topped with coffee butter icing. Now, I think these are more of a grown-up traybake. And they did…
Plain Scones
This is a recipe for traditional plain scones. No additions. No sticky, sugary glazes (American scones, I’m looking at you here). Just plain scones, best eaten while still warm and fresh from the oven. With butter and jam. Or clotted cream, if…
Toffee Rice Krispie Treats
I recently made Rice Krispie Treats with Little Miss Traybakes using the recipe we found on the cereal box. But they weren’t quite the same as the ones I remember Mummy Traybakes making when I was younger. Then I remembered that…
Mallow Cushions
This was another reader request. I had never heard of Mallow Cushions before but this recipe had the right name and the ingredient list sounded the same and the end result was rather yummy. But so sticky to work with. Oh,…
Almond & Raspberry Traybake
This is another renamed traybake. My recipe book calls this ‘Economical Almond Cheesecakes’ and the look on my husband’s face when I told him this (after he had already eaten one or two, or was it three…) reinforced the need…
Cornflake Squares
I am on a roll with the ‘firsts’ for the blog. This Cornflake Squares recipe was my first ‘try to find the traybake someone remembered their mum making’. I received a message via Facebook (thank you to all my Facebook followers!)…
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Squares
This was another first for the blog. So far, I have baked the recipes from my retro recipe books with minimal changes. I’ve converted to grams, I’ve added a few more directions and on one occasion I’ve figured out how long…
Chinese Chews
This Chinese Chews traybake is another very simple, easy-to-bake traybake. The addition of nuts and dates provides crunch and chewiness. There is a hint of almond extract and that’s about it, really. Like I said, a nice straightforward recipe. My…
Honey Flapjacks
Just four ingredients in this recipe for Honey Flapjacks. Four. And it was so easy to make. And it has porridge oats in it, so it’s practically a health food. If the other three ingredients weren’t there, I suppose. Just…
Chocolate Peppermint Squares
As March began, I saw that my daughter’s preschool would be talking about leprechauns and pots of gold. FYI, if Little Miss Traybakes found a pot of gold, she would apparently “buy more monkeys”. So my thoughts turned to something…
