Apricot, Honey & White Chocolate Choux Buns
These are like little morsels of sunshine. Zingy Apricot compote and smooth, vanilla-speckled honey and white chocolate whipped ganache. These flavours coupled with a crunchy choux bun make for a perfect bite.
Lemon Poppyseed Crullers
Sometimes all you need is a fresh doughnut, but sometimes you just don’t have the time or patience to make them. There’s making the dough, leaving it to rise, rolling, cutting and then leaving them to prove again. Here’s where the Cruller comes in: choux paste that’s fried to a deep golden before being dunked in a thin lemony glaze. Top with a sprinkling of poppyseeds and fresh lemon zest and they’re irresistible.
Flaky Eccles Cakes
I highly recommend making rough puff pastry for these Eccles Cakes, it makes such a difference. Although, if you’re short on time, you can always use shop-bought puff pastry. I like to make a bit of a wetter filling and leave it overnight to really mull all the flavours together and plump up the dried fruit. They’re perfect warm with a generous helping of custard or eat them alongside your favourite cheese!
Traditional Cornish Pasties
Holidays by the sea, a pick me up after work, a trusty warm and delicious lunch when options are lacking - The humble Cornish Pasty.
Plum Galettes with Honey Chamomile Cream
This is the perfect dessert recipe as the season slowly shifts into Autumn and you’re ready to cosy up indoors. You can use any seasonal fruit you have around but plums are one of my favourites. Paired with a softly whipped chamomile infused honey cream, they make an ideal no-fuss autumnal treat.
Hazelnut, Caramel & Whisky Ganache Tart
All good things come to those who wait! If you’re looking for a weekend baking project or an indulgent dessert to impress your guests, this is it. Tender chocolate pastry, salted caramel, roasted hazelnuts and a whisky ganache; heaven! Although a little complicated, it’s definitely worth making all the elements. Enjoy!
