Strawberry Shortcakes

June 29, 2016 By Amy 4 Comments

Strawberry Shortcake

What do you do after you go strawberry picking on one of the few sunny days of the year? Bake, of course! Last weekend we decided to take the boys to one of the local Strawberry farms and to say they enjoyed themselves was an understatement! D. (our strawberry obsessed 2 year old) in particular looked like he’d died and gone to heaven. And as much as I too love strawberries on their own, I love them even more when sandwiched with cream between shortbread, à la Strawberry Shortcakes!Read More

Lemon Cupcakes

Lemon Cupcakes

Here comes the sun, doo doo doo doo… Unless you too are in Scotland. Then you might be blessed with the sun in the morning but it’s likely you’ll still get rain in the afternoon. That’s not to say that you can’t still embrace some summer baking like these zesty little Lemon Cupcakes!Read More

Fruit Slice (Fly Cemetery)

June 3, 2016 By Amy 45 Comments

Fruit Slice Fly Cemetery

There’s something about us Scots and our love of questionable foods. Haggis is the obvious one (love it), Lorne sausage, macaroni pies, deep-fried Mars Bar and even Irn Bru cupcakes – Scotland is famed for it’s love of “unique” foods. And it could only be the Scots who would come up with a pet-name such as Fly Cemetery for a sweet little pastry treat like Fruit Slice.

Oatcakes

Oatcakes

We’re big fans of oats in our house. From the daily porridge requests each morning, too endlessly trying to perfect flapjack (which I will finally share when I eventually do!), we just can’t get enough of those little super-grains. If there’s one oat classic that always feels a little bit special to me, it is Oatcakes.

Jammy Dodgers

Jammy Dodgers recipe from Baking with Granny. Easy recipe for home made Jammie Dodgers.

If you don’t enjoy a Jammy Dodger then I’m afraid we can’t be friends. How could anyone who doesn’t enjoy a Jammy Dodger possibly be trusted? There’s something quite nostalgic about these quintessentially British biscuits that takes me right back to my childhood. What would normally be a fairly standard shortbread biscuit is instantly transformed by the presence of some jam and that lovely little love heart.

Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns

Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns recipe from Baking with Granny.

Little known fact for you…I did music as a Standard Grade at school. In fact, it was one of my favourite subjects. I was never really that great at playing music but I loved the theory side of things. One tune I did master on the keyboard however is Hot Cross Buns, even if everyone thinks I’m playing Three Blind Mice whenever I decide to share my skills on the keys.

Easter Maltesers Slice

March 13, 2016 By Amy 3 Comments

Maltesers Slice

When I first asked Granny to share her Maltesers Slice recipe with me, she rattled it off the top of her head without a second thought. This is another one of her recipes that has been well and truly perfected, to the point she knows it straight from memory. Just like Granny’s Fudge Slice recipe, this Maltesers Slice is super easy and super tasty.

Fudge Slice

February 29, 2016 By Amy 16 Comments

Fudge Slice

If there’s one kind of recipe that no one can fail at, it’s a tray bake! Deceivingly named as the majority of them don’t require any baking, tray bakes are the perfect way to impress people with your baking skills, without actually having any. Fudge Slice is especially easy and as equally delicious.

Spring Fairy Cakes

February 16, 2016 By Amy 4 Comments

Spring Fairy Cakes recipe from Baking with Granny. Simple little fairy cake, topped with buttercream.

I don’t know about you but we’re well & truly over winter! Don’t get me wrong, I much prefer the colder seasons to the heat of summer but my perfect weather can be described as, “freezing cold with the sun in the sky,” – certainly not the rain, sleet, snow & the gale force winds that we seem to be in the midst of at present. These constant grey skies have us craving the start of spring and these Spring Fairy Cakes seem to be just what the doctor ordered!

Drop Scones (Scotch Pancakes)

February 7, 2016 By Amy 78 Comments

Drop Scones recipe from Baking with Granny. Traditional Scotch pancakes.

If there’s one type of baking I feel I’ve mastered, it’s pancakes! I’ve even joked about writing my own recipe book solely of different pancake recipes. And it all started with these little beauties. Drop Scones, also known as Scotch Pancakes, are something I’ve been baking since my childhood and something that Granny has always been on hand to help perfect. Similar to American Pancakes but way simpler, they make a great treat for breakfast or just for snacking.
