Bake 11 - #12BakesofChristmas  This recipe is a bit of a mad invention of mine. I wanted to combine the lovely fruity filling of a traditional Chelsea Bun, with the fun method of Richard Bertinet's Cinnamon Twist Buns. So I had a little play around and found that THIS is the best way to combine the two together! A perfect bake to rustle up or have ready in the freezer to bake fresh on Christmas morning!  Ingredients for the dough: 200ml full fat milk 2 eggs 600g strong bread flour 7g dried yeast 50g caster sugar 2 tsp salt 200g butter, softened  For the filling: 150g butter, softened 250g light soft brown sugar 2 tsp cinnamon zest of 1 orange/lemon 75g dried apricots 75g sultanas For the glaze: Apricot jam Splash of water  Method: 1. To make the dough, put the milk and eggs into the bowl of a food mixer then add the flour. Put the yeast on one side of the bowl. Then put the sugar, salt and butter on the other side. Mix on a slow speed for 4 minutes. Turn it up to a medium speed for

Well, the best day of the year is finally upon us... Pancake Day! I asked on Instagram  which pancake recipes you would like to see, but we ALL KNOW I was always going to share all three! So here are my ultimate Vegan Pancakes, Crepes and American Pancakes recipes. Enjoy! 3 Ingredient Vegan Pancakes These pancakes are Vegan! They are also egg, gluten and dairy free! Win win!  Ingredients: 100g oats 2 bananas, mashed 100ml dairy-free milk of your choice (I used oat) Method: 1. Grease your pan well and heat.  2. Blitz all your ingredients together in a blender/food processor.  3. Pour ladles of batter onto the greased pan. 4. As soon as the pancakes are cooked enough that you can get a pancake flipper underneath without breaking the pancakes, flip and cook an additional minute. Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit.  Crepes As much as I love American Pancakes for breakfast on a Sunday morning, on Pancake Day, I have to have Crepes with lemon and sugar. It's just classic and what we

This morning I was inspired by the GBBO repeat on BBC1 to bake again. I decided to make the cheese straws from the old Be-Ro flour cookbook we've had longer than I can remember.  Ingredients 200g self raising flour two pinches of salt 1 tsp mustard powder 100g butter 150g mature cheddar cheese, grated  2 eggs some extra cheese to melt on top Method 1. Put the flour, salt & mustard powder in a bowl. Rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumb. Add the grated cheese.  2. Use the egg to combine the mixture into a rough dough. 3. Roll out on a floured surface and cut into strips. Put on a baking tray, lined with greaseproof paper then sprinkle the extra cheese over the top. Bake at 160 for 20 minutes until golden brown. Ta da! And there you are. A wonderful brunchy, lunchy, elevenses treat!  I'd like to wish you a very happy new year & here's to a wonderful 2013 filled with love,
