Valentine Cherry Meringues
I did a lot of research into finding the perfect meringue recipe. As a general rule 50g of sugar per egg white is used. The addition of corn flour and vinegar ‘strengthens’ the egg white, making it more stable giving a more chewy fluffier marshmallow centre and the cooking time can be shortened. Adding brown sugar gives an even chewier centre (however no more than half the total amount of sugar used should be brown). Cream of tartar makes a sturdier meringue that is less prone to weeping and more tolerant to a higher cooking temperature. This is why cream of tartar is often added to meringue when making puddings like lemon meringue pie. Continue reading “Valentine Cherry Meringues”
Double Chocolate Checkered Cake
This cake looks spectacular when cut and tastes delicious.
Caramel Nut Tart
For this recipe I used fresh walnuts that I brought back from resent holiday in France.
It takes a while to crack the nuts but I think it’s worth the trouble.
This is also great for using up any leftover nuts after Christmas too.
I have used Walnuts but any nuts can be used.
Ginger Cake
This cake tastes fantastic straight away and when still warm, however after a couple of days a lovely sticky layer forms on the top of the cake. As the cake matures each day the flavour and texture will improve, hard to believe but true!!
Double Chocolate Dessert
This is one of my all time family favourite desserts. Biscuit base and a chocolaty top layer – what more could anyone want? Great served on its own or with a scoop of ice cream.
Jelly Babies
A quick and easy way to make Jelly Sweets!
English Breakfast Muffins
I searched high and low for a breakfast muffin recipe and finally found one in a very old recipe book belonging to my late great aunt. She used to be a school cook – back in the days when Steak and Kidney Pie and Gypsy Tart were on the menu.
As this recipe was very old I had to modify and bring it up-to-date.
Chocolate Truffles
I was invited to my friend’s house to watch ‘The Voice’ and wanted to take nice nibbles for her and her family – something a little special.
My mum has made these truffles for mini presents at Christmas time, so I thought it was about time I made them myself and improve the recipe!
I made white and dark chocolate truffles. White chocolate is a lot softer than dark and I have found very different to use.
Shortbread
Wonderfully, light and crumbly shortbread in under an hour.
Just perfect with a cuppa.
