Blackberry Victoria Surprise
In the UK the upcoming weekend will celebrate The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Queen Elizabeth will be celebrating 60 years on the throne of the United Kingdom. Good for her, but it also means bumper bank holiday for the rest of us!
Strawberry & Champagne Jam
Ever wonder what the Queen has for breakfast? I doubt she wanders bleary eyed to the kitchen in the morning and drops a couple Pop Tarts into the toaster. What does a woman have to celebrate 60 years on the throne? Probably not Pop Tarts but maybe homemade jam features on the menu.
Chai Tea Cookies
We all know how much I love tea and coffee. I make my own amazing and sometimes out there coffee syrups. I also make my own blended teas! I’ve taken that love and poured it into a cookie (had to make that tea reference).
Chewy Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
You’d think with all the baking I do the house would be flooded with baked goods. I don’t know where it all goes sometimes! We found ourselves dessert less on a Saturday night and I wanted instant gratification so I picked some chewy cookies that required no fuss!
Peanut Butter Whopper Squares
This is the second recipe I made from Eric Landlard’s Home Bake. Read my review of the book here. Eric calls this recipe “Malteser Squares”. Typically in the UK these types of bars are called tray bakes. This is a simple no bake recipe and I jazzed it up using some Peanut Butter Whoppers I found and made a peanut butter topping using cookie dough bites.
{Book Review} Eric Landlard Home Bake
Home Bake is Eric Landlard’s collection of recipes that the master patissier uses to entertain in his home. These recipes are billed as practical and beautiful for the home baker.
Lemon Bars
I’d never made lemon bars before and I got really excited when I saw them in the Leon Baking & Pudding book. Alex is a huge fan of fruit desserts and these have rocketed to the his favorite. He loves the sweet and tart combination.
