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.

Bad Boys Bakery lemon treacle slice OMG

The recipe used by the bad boys bakery in Gordon Ramsey's excellent TV series `Gordon behind bars'. This lemon treacle slice is divine.

Guess the weight of the cake!

This is the chocolate marble cake I made for my nephews school fete in the classic Guess the weight of the cake competition. The answer: 13lb and 12oz.

Happy Stir up Sunday!

Today is Stir Up Sunday. The last Sunday before Advent. I made my xmas puddings today, after soaking the fruit is brandy overnight. They are now steaming away in the slow cooker for several hours. This process makes them very moist and full of flavour. Stir-up Sunday dates back to Victorian times, when cooks prepared the Christmas pudding by stirring the mixture and adding silver coins as good luck token!
