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

White Chocolate and Miso 'Creme' Inspired Cookies

Last week, I turned 28! Despite the lockdown, my wonderful parents and boyfriend ensured I had a wonderful birthday. This included receiving a surprise box of Creme Cookies ! It's been almost a year since my friend Steph and I attempted to get our hands on a Creme Cookie when we went to London. I was very excited to try them and my favourite flavour, by far, was White Chocolate and Miso. I had seen that Anna of The Anna Edit had posted this recipe a while ago so I thought I would give them a go today. I did a bit of an experiment with the chilling times as seen below. I would say that appearance wise, the cookie dough that was frozen looks the most like a Creme cookie! But they all tasted amazing! Just depends if you prefer a more spread, well done cookie or a thick gooey one!  Ingredients: 200g butter, cold and cut into cubes 200g light brown sugar 100g golden caster sugar 2 eggs 360g self raising flour 1 tsp cornflour 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 1/2 tsp salt 2 tbsp white miso 25

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,
