Jammy Dodgers

Jammy 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

March 24, 2016 By Amy 3 Comments

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

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

Spring Fairy Cakes

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 45 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.

Rainbow Cookies

Rainbow Cookies

Stress & mess aside, I really do love baking with The Boys. John in particular loves nothing more than putting on his apron & chef’s hat and getting his hands floury. It doesn’t actually matter what you tell him we’re making, he will always tell people he’s been, “making biscuits!” But as far as recipes for baking with kids go, I’m always a fan of something, quick, easy & with flavours that meet their approval and these Rainbow Cookies come out tops.

8 Valentine’s Bakes

January 28, 2016 By Amy Leave a Comment

Valentine's Bakes

If I’m being brutally honest, Valentine’s Day is not something I can really get in to. I am one of those cynical people who seems the whole event as a commercial goldmine and a day that can leave some people feeling on top of the world but a whole load more a bit down in the dumps.

That being said, I love any excuse to bake up a storm and although all these recipes are of a pink theme, with lots of love hearts in tow, I’d happily eat bake them any day of the year! So if you’re looking for something sweet (both in taste & thought) to surprise your Valentine with this February 14th, then here’s 8 Valentines Bakes to help inspire you.

Easy Cinnamon Swirls

January 19, 2016 By Amy 29 Comments

Cinnamon Swirls recipe from Baking with Granny. Super easy pastry treat.

In an ideal world, I’d eat pastry for breakfast everyday. Although if anyone from my work is reading this, they’ll likely tell you that I have a Pain Au Chocolat most mornings… But lets just ignore that unhealthy little habit for a moment and concentrate on how amazing these little Easy Cinnamon Swirls are.

Tunnocks Teacake Cupcakes

January 15, 2016 By Amy 4 Comments

Tunnocks Teacake Cupcakes

When I think of Tunnocks Teacakes, I think of Still Game. In particular the one where Jack & Victor share some Tunnocks Teacakes and cristicise one another on either being the type of person who rolls their teacake wrapper into a perfect little ball or the type of person who has to flatten the wrapper out into a flawless square. (I’m definitely the latter). And for those of you out-with Scotland (or the UK – do you get Tunnocks Teacakes down south?) who have absolutely no idea what a Tunnocks Teacake is, these Tunnocks Teacake Cupcakes are just the education you need!
