Hot Cross Buns

March 19, 2021 By Amy 4 Comments

Brighter days are coming! The weather is (somewhat) improving, the nights are lighter and the new leaves are starting to appear on the trees. All the signs that Spring is on the way. Another sign that Spring is near is the yearly influx of Hot Cross Buns.

Custard Tarts

The humble Custard Tart. Who’d have thought a little pastry bowl, filled with some creamy custard could be so delicious? Something so simple but that works so unbelievably well.

Upside-down Pineapple Cake

February 17, 2021 By Amy 6 Comments

You know me, I love a simple bake, especially one that looks deceivingly like a showstopper with very minimal effort. This upside-down Pineapple Cake is just that! A delicious sponge, topped (bottomed?) with glowing rings of pineapple and gems of glace cherries.

Sticky Toffee Pudding

There’s one pudding that always makes an appearance in the Baking with Granny household at Christmas (or any special occasion to be honest) and that is Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Rocky Road

November 23, 2020 By Amy 2 Comments

As the end of 2020 approaches, I think we can all agree it’s been one heck of year. With that in mind, lets get a traybake that throws caution to the wind and ticks every possible box of sweetness you can imagine. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Rocky Road!

Pumpkin Biscuits

October 21, 2020 By Amy Leave a Comment

Hands up if you can’t quite believe we’re into October 2020? It has been a rather crazy year, that’s for sure. And it would seem that Halloween, much like the rest of 2020, will be somewhat different this year. It’s for that reason I decided to make this Pumpkin Biscuits recipe.

Viennese Fingers

August 17, 2020 By Amy 40 Comments

There’s a few recipes that I’ve set myself a challenge to perfect over the years and Viennese Fingers is definitely one of those. And let me tell you, it’s been a long, bumpy road!

School Cake

July 14, 2020 By Amy 60 Comments

When I first set out to make this recipe I wondered if School Cake was now a thing of the past. The boys however informed me that you do still indeed get School Cake at lunchtime, albeit not everyday, nor after a ‘nutritious’ serving of Turkey Twizzlers and chips!

Gingernuts

June 8, 2020 By Amy 34 Comments

I’m going through a serious biscuit obsession at the moment. I used to be all about chocolate but since switching to a more plant-based diet, biscuits are my new go-to for a sugar hit. And Gingernuts are up there as one of my most favourites.

Carrot Cake

There’s a few conversations from my High School years that stick in my mind. There is one in particular though, which I always recall when someone mentions Carrot Cake!
