Light n fluffy pitta bread

 This is a very tasty alternative to the traditional pitta bread as irs much more light and fluffy. Great with hummus 😋  this recipe came from What Jessica Baked Next blog here  .  https://whatjessicabakednext.com/2021/08/10/greek-pita-bread/amp/

Honeycomb - what a treat!

 I have been meaning to make honeycomb for years and here it is. I will be adding it into homemade gelato tonight. What a bank holiday weekend treat 😋  The recipe is so easy. Melt 150g of sugar with 2 tablespoons of golden syrup until it turns a golden colur ( about 3 mins simmering). Take off heat. Add 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda.  Mix with a metal spoon. Watch it rise and pour on a baking sheet, leaving to cool. 

Lemon drizzle cake with an allotment twist

With an excess of courgettes from the allotment I decided to try lemon and courgette cake. The courgette gives the cake a nice moistness. Although you have to be careful to squeeze out as much water as possible from the grated courgette. I should have squeezed out more as my cake was nice but a bit too moist.  It's worth a go at making though!  

Boozy Pimms birthday cake

I wanted to try this recipe for a long time. Pimms in a  cake? Sounded divine. Pimms is added at every stage - the sponge, buttercream and a delicious pimms syrup on the top!  I topped the cake with strawberry 🍓,  mint and edible borage flowers.
