This a recipe provided by someone who’s been working on it for a while. She uses it on carrot cake. The ingredients and method are hers and you’re welcome to contact her with any queries by leaving a comment on this post. It sounds good to me. For this recipe you will need an electric hand [...] This has been a mainstay of my family for more years than I can remember. It is easy to make and produces a reliably delicious, light and fluffy cake. The only thing which you must NEVER EVER do is open the oven before 20 minutes of the cooking time have passed. You can make a [...] This is our favourite recipe for a traditional Simnel Cake. It’s based on Nigella Lawson’s recipe with tweaks to make it work dairy free. The marzipan balls on top are great fun for the children to make. There are supposed to be eleven (for the disciples of Christ minus Judas, of course) but, when you [...] To make these treats you will need a heavy-bottomed saucepan and a shallow baking tray. A swiss roll tin would do fine, but remember that you are going to be cutting the fingers up in the tin, so don’t use a precious, non-stick tin.

You will need an 11″ / 28cm loose bottomed flan tin and a wire cooling rack. Recipe: Mince [...] The traditional accompaniment to a glass of mulled wine during the Christmas season.

Recipe: Mince Pies Summary: Can’t have Christmas without mince pies! Here’s how to make them [...] This goes superbly with Christmas Pudding and is really fairly straightforward. For this recipe you will need a heavy bottomed saucepan which is NOT non-stick, a pint jug and a balloon whisk. Recipe: Christmas White Sauce Summary: What would Christmas pudding be without a traditional rum sauce? Ingredients 2 tbsps cornflour This is the recipe which has been used in the family for almost as many years as I can remember. It is lighter in texture than a very traditional pudding, but the flavour is absolutely traditional. I’m afraid I don’t go in for weird and wonderful variations on Christmas recipes; the tradition is all part [...] Yes, you really can make a dairy-free version of this and it is just as tempting to stick your finger into as the tins of the real thing! The only slight drawback is that this is not a quick thing to make and you do have to stay with it at all times. However, it [...] |
