Apple & Thyme Fat Sausage Rolls
The humble sausage roll in all it’s glory. It’s a staple in our household, especially for my Fiancé. I think he would eat them everyday if he could! I adore a homemade sausage roll, but I mainly made these for him. I like either a mini sausage roll or a massive one, preferably the size of my hand. These are elevated by making a gorgeously buttery rough puff pastry and, although you can use shop-bought puff pastry in a pinch, I think it’s completely worth the extra effort.
Cocoa Nib & Pistachio Chunky Granola
This is my delicious and nutritious granola recipe. It’s chunky, crisp, packed full of flavour and lightly sweetened. I’ve used cocoa nibs, pistachios and flaked almonds in mine, but you can use whatever you fancy. The dates stay nice and chewy while the oats and nuts get lovely and toasted. This granola isn’t a very sweet recipe as that’s how I like it. I don’t want to be eating a tonne of sugar at breakfast, so I use a mixture of honey, butter and egg white to get it nice and crisp. It’s packed down as one even layer to bake which is then broken up once cooled to ensure it stays nice and chunky!
Hungary - Pogácsa
These Pogácsa are the flakier, yeasted version of an English cheese scone/American biscuit. By using cold grated butter and laminating three additions of cheese, you get intense cheese flavour with lovely flaky pastry.
France - Croissants
Buttery, flaky & crisp all at the same time. Croissants may be the best pastry out there.
