Butterfly Cakes

My kids reaction upon seeing these Butterfly Cakes in my kitchen was, “wooooah, look at those cupcakes!” What was a perfectly innocent response of glee and excitement actually made me feel a unexpected pang of sadness.

Tattie Scones

Let me be honest here. This is a recipe I have made time and time again, with the intention of sharing it here on Baking with Granny. But every time I make some Tattie Scones I face the same issue… I eat them all before I get a chance to photograph them!

Honey Slice

At first glance, you’d be forgiven for assuming this was our infamous Flapjack…but on closer inspection and taste, you will find that it is actually quite different. Coconut, cornflakes, and of course honey, is what makes our Honey Slice a classic all on its own.

Scottish Macaroons

Whenever I ask people what recipe they would like to see the most on Baking with Granny, Scottish Macaroons is the one that is requested, more than any other recipe. Always with one stipulation…”the kind made with potato!”

Swiss Roll

Swiss Roll is cake that reminds me of being a kid. There’s something quite comforting about a little swirly roll of cake, filled with sweet strawberry jam. It’s one I always remember getting from our local Safeway but one I seldom remember Granny baking.

Meringues

There’s a handful of things which Granny has baked throughout my childhood, that to this day can transport me back in time. Just the mere smells of meringues baking takes me back to Granny’s kitchen circa 1998, when she used to churn out dozens of them for the local cafes to serve.
