Spiced Oat & White Chocolate Maple Glazed Cookies
As soon as I smelt these cookies baking in my oven, I knew I’d love them. They’re delicately spiced, soft and chewy. They’ve got some texture from the oats and the gooey white chocolate. They’re rolled in sugar before baking to give them a crackly top which clings to the maple glaze in a fashion that reminds me of a desert landscape. I think they’re so beautiful in their simplicity and will be a recipe I’ll make time and time again.
Cheddar & Bacon Maple Milk Buns
These buns are made up of the softest, bounciest milk bun dough stuffed with sweet onions, a mustardy bacon bechamel, a sweet and herby thyme maple glaze and more crisp bacon piled on top. Its the ultimate mix of sweet and savoury.
Sesame Sour Cream & Apple Cake
This has become my new favourite snack cake. A sour cream sponge made with tahini and toasted sesame seeds, that has a spiced sugar running through the middle and tart apples sitting on top. It’s then finished off with a maple tahini glaze that gets poured over the surface while the cake is still hot, so that it rests into all of its nooks and crannies. It’s moist and fruity but a little savoury from the sesame too.
All I kept thinking while eating my first warm slice was, ‘when can I make this again?’
