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…
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…
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…
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…

Flakemeal Biscuits
Flakemeal Biscuits are classic, traditional biscuits from Northern Ireland. The biscuit is crunchy, full of oats with a little bit of coconut. And very straightforward to make. While their traditional name in Northern Ireland is Flakemeal Biscuits, I ended up…
Canadian Cookies
These are possibly the nicest, most polite cookies you’ve ever met. And they love ice hockey. And maple syrup. Or perhaps they’re called Canadian Cookies for some other reason… Probably, someone’s Aunt/Granny/neighbour got this recipe from a relative in Canada and…
Gipsy Creams
After a brief internet search, I discovered that McVities’ Gipsy Creams were discontinued at least 10 years ago. So I can’t do a side by side comparison to see if this recipe is supposed to be a copy or if it’s just…
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…
