Flipping Jack Tiffin
What could be better than fussing my two favourite sweet treat bars together – Flap Jack & Tiffin. Here’s my flippin’ good recipe – perfect for picnics, pack-up’s and Scooby snacks.
Ingredient: raisins
Muesli
No sugar, no salt but packed full of healthy flavours, just pour on the semi-skimmed or skimmed milk, sweeten it up with a spoon full of honey or maple syrup or bind in natural yogurt.
Christmas Pudding
Christmas pudding needs time to mature and October is the perfect time to make it. It’s a really simple process and not daunting at all – it’s as simple as weighing, mixing and steaming. The result is a magnificent beast of a pudding oozing with rich plump fruit, deep in colour and as moist as the richest pudding you could ever imagine.
I’ve been making my own Christmas pud for over 15 years first for my customers then for my family and this recipe has stuck with me for the last 6 years of teaching and probably for the next 50. It uses stout and even though I wouldn’t entertain a glass of stout it adds a real depth to the pudding worth its weight in gastronomic tinsel!
Christmas Cake
Boozie ole Christmas cake full of seasonal cheer. Although better made earlier so the alcohol can seep in and mature, its still not to late to make this one. My husband has his with a slice of cheese, a Northern tradition but I like mine just as it is with a nice cup of tea on Christmas eve when the children have gone to bed and Santas mince pie is waiting on the mantle.
