Apple Pie

October 31, 2018 By Amy 3 Comments

Apple Pie recipe from Baking with Granny. Buttery shortcrust pastry with sweet apples inside.

I never really appreciated an Apple Pie until recent years. It’s something Granny would make an abundance of each year but being a lover of all things chocolate, I usually prefer to opt for desserts more moreish.Read More

Highlander Shortbread

September 5, 2018 By Amy 8 Comments

Highlander Shortbread recipe from Baking with Granny. Classic buttery Scottish shortbread rounds, with a delicious coating of demerara sugar.

Recently someone asked Granny, “what’s your favourite thing to bake?” and without hesitation, she answered with “Shortbread!” I’ve already shared Granny’s infamous Shortbread recipe but inspired by recent events, I thought it was now time to share another variation of the classic Scottish Shortbread – which incidentally is my favourite kind – Highlander Shortbread!Read More

The famous Victoria Sponge! Is there a more iconic cake? Or one which can divide opinion so fiercely. Not sure what I’m talking about? Let me explain…Read More

Banana Cupcakes

June 11, 2018 By Amy 6 Comments

Banana Cupcakes recipe from Baking with Granny. Lovely little cakes packed with banana, topped with cream cheese icing.

There’s nothing like some over-ripe bananas to get me in the mood for baking. The go-to recipe is of course Banana Loaf but having made countless loafs in recent months (including one still lurking in my freezer!) it was time to put the bananas to another use. Cue the Banana Cupcakes!Read More

Crunchy Peanut Cookies

Crunchy Peanut Cookies Recipe - crunchy little biscuits, made with peanut butter.

Hi, hello! There’s been a bit of an unintentional radio silence on here of late which I can only apologise for. I’m never sure how much real life stuff people want on here, so tend to stick to the baking*. So to help ease me back into the kitchen, here’s another classic from Granny’s little blue book; Crunchy Peanut Cookies!Read More

Scottish Daily Mail

March 15, 2018 By Amy Leave a Comment

Baking with Granny feature in the Scottish Daily Mail newspaper.

If you follow Baking with Granny on Facebook you will have seen the excitement over the fact we recently done a 5-day feature of recipes with the Scottish Daily Mail. Unfortunately, our feature clashed with the arrival of the “Beast from East”, meaning we were unable to get the last few days worth of newspapers locally – a problem which I understand a lot of people had too!Read More

Caramel Slice

March 12, 2018 By Amy 9 Comments

Caramel Slice Recipe - Baking with Granny. Also known as Caramel Shortcake and Millionaires Slice. The traditional Scottish tray bake with a biscuit base, layer of caramel and topped with chocolate.

If you asked me to make a tray bake to top all of the other tray bakes, Caramel Slice would be the winner. It’s a real classic and always a favourite with all ages, made with all the best things you could have in a sweet treat; biscuit, caramel and chocolate!Read More

Dundee Cake

January 24, 2018 By Amy 8 Comments

Dundee Cake - Deliciously sweet, Scottish fruit cake. Topped with blanched almonds.

When it comes to cake, I still feel like I’m on a journey of discovery. Cakes were always what Granny made when I was growing up and as such, I never really took to them. Too much of a good thing! But since growing up and moving away from home, I have rediscovered cake in all it’s glory. The latest cake to join my newly discovered all-time favourites is Dundee Cake.Read More

Custard Creams

January 19, 2018 By Amy 17 Comments

Custard Creams - Recipe for the classic British biscuits. Sweet,crumbly, custard biscuits; sandwiched with buttercream.

There’s two treats that I remember my own Granny baking. The first one is of course her infamous Coconut Ice. And the second is Custard Creams. Even Granny raves about this recipe as being the best custard creams recipe she’s ever used. High praise indeed!Read More

Perkins

January 8, 2018 By Amy 4 Comments

Perkins Biscuits Recipe - Baking with Granny. Traditional Scottish biscuits. Sweet, crunchy, oaty and loving topped with an almond.

One of my most favourite things to have happened since starting Baking with Granny is people sharing what they used to bake with their own Granny. It was never the initial expectation behind sharing Granny’s recipes here but it came naturally with the concept. Some of the recipes people mention are already here (Shortbread and Fly Cemetery), some are in the works and others I’m not always familiar with. Perkins biscuits was one that was requested on Facebook – one I hadn’t heard of before but of course, Granny had a recipe stashed away.Read More
