Toffee & Dark Chocolate Chunk Bacon Fat Cookies
A cookie for my fellow savoury sweet lovers. These cookies are made using brown butter and rendered bacon fat. I’m big on no food waste so for any households that go through a fair bit of bacon, this could be the answer for all that leftover bacon fat. I’ve packed the cookie dough full of toffee shards, dark chocolate chunks and finely diced crispy bacon. The result is a chewy cookie with a crispy edge and pools of rich chocolate and butterscotch toffee.
Forced Rhubarb & Ginger Gingham Swiss Roll
This pink gingham swiss roll is whimsical and it adds a pop of colour to your afternoon coffee and cake. I am a true rhubarb lover and, like many other foodies, await the arrival of forced Rhubarb as if its Christmas morning. Pair it with fluffy ginger cream and it's absolute heaven.
Raspberry & Elderflower Cheesecake Love Heart Doughnuts
These romantic little treats are filled with an elderflower cheesecake cream and tangy raspberry compote. The base of the cream is an elderflower cream cheese whipped ganache with crushed digestives folded through. The punchy raspberry compote just brings the whole thing to life.
Rum Raisin, Pecan Frangipane & Milk Chocolate Buns
These buns where born out of a want to kick start some festivities with some boozy rum & orange soaked raisins. I knew they would pair perfectly with a toasty pecan frangipane and sweet milk chocolate. Slathered in a cream cheese frosting while they're still warm, they're the unnecessary but completely necessary dessert we all need.
Brown Butter Glazed Doughnuts with a Hazelnut Chocolate Crunch
Doughnuts are a food that brings me complete joy. I love making them, frying them and of course, eating them. A really good, simple glazed doughnut can’t be beaten. These brown butter glazed delights are so light, it’s difficult not to guzzle them all up at once. They look like little pillows. The hazelnut chocolate crunch adds that extra texture I sometimes miss with a glazed doughnut as well as some added nutty flavour. A real treat and a lovely baking project for a weekend.
Herby, Roasted Garlic Scones
I dreamt of a savoury scone, packed full of herbs & caramelised roasted garlic with just a touch of sweetness. So I immediately went into my kitchen and conjured these up. Two batches and a couple of tweaks later and they're here.
Super flaky, buttery and full of chives, dill & rosemary. Chuck in a whole bulb of roasted garlic & they're perfect.
