You can’t beat the simplicity of a classic fruit crumble, and this easy rhubarb and strawberry crumble is one of my favourites. I love sour rhubarb which I’ve paired with sweet Scottish strawberries to make the perfect summer dessert.
Baking, desserts & puddings
Easy Blood Orange Cake is a really easy orange cake to bake, made using the creaming method. The addition of blood orange zest and juice to this light sponge cake batter results is a lovely moist sponge cake that tastes simply delicious.
Buttermilk cheese scones are light and fluffy scones that appeal to anyone who loves cheese, and the hint of mustard and cayenne pepper adds a lovely savoury note.
Mini Dutch pancakes known as poffertjes are a delicious alternative to traditional pancakes and just as easy to make. Poffertjes are small pancakes that are made with buckwheat flour and leavened with yeast. The most traditional way to serve them is with a knob of butter and a dusting of icing sugar.
Chocolate mincemeat tiffin with cranberries is a great way of using up a jar of mincemeat leftover from making mincemeat pies at Christmas.
Dark chocolate orange tiffin is a seriously delicious chocolate fridge cake. The flavours of bitter dark chocolate are combined with sweet orange to make the ideal no-bake traybake.
