Chocolate nutters

-
My lovely manager Debbie bought me a present today. She came back from her lunch break with a baking recipe book for me! After having a quick flick through, I'd already found several recipes I wanted to try. I decided to just make a quick batch of the chocolate nutty biscuits.
Ingredients
110g butter, softened
110g light brown sugar
50g peanut butter
1 egg
275g plain flour
200g milk chocolate
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 170. Line two baking trays with greaseproof paper. 
2. Cream together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the peanut butter and egg and mix together. Fold in the flour. Finely chop 50g of the chocolate and knead into the dough.
3. Take small amounts of the dough and roll into a ball. Flatten into a biscuit shape on the trays. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden. Leave to cool.
4. Melt the remaining chocolate in a small bowl over a pan of boiling water. Once the biscuits are cool, decorate the biscuits with the chocolate using a spoon or piping bag.
Ta da!

















And there we are! They were very easy to make and taste delicious. I hope the other recipes in this book are just as simple & tasty! Thanks again, Debbie! X Bo

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,
