Apr 12 Black & White Pinwheel Biscuits.

Lee Majhen-Todd

A pinwheel biscuit is a beautiful thing to behold!

It’s the contrast of the dark and the light, of the vanilla and the chocolate layers together, wrapped around itself making a pretty wheel of biscuit.

Not too sweet, this biscuit is the perfect thing to sit on a plate when visitors come knocking.

Pistachio & Lemon Financiers

I’ve made my little financier cakes using pistachios ground up to a nut flour and love the flavour and texture they give.

There’s something about the pale green colour of pistachios that makes me smile. Using them in cakes and as a substitute for other nuts when cooking adds something quite special.

Jan 31 Lime Melting Moments with Fresh Lime Buttercream

Lee Majhen-Todd

A recipe for Lime Melting Moments with Fresh Lime ButtercreamFinding a biscuit recipe that’s both creamy and firm is a dream and that’s what the custard powder in the recipe does, while keeping the biscuits crumbly enough to melt in my mouth. Hence the name, melting moments!

Lime is a particular flavour favourite of mine, a change up from lemon and a little fresher and zinger rather than zesty flavour.

Pear Frangipane Tart recipe.

With the ground almonds, soft sweet pears, buttery crumbly pastry and the added lemon zest, this Pear Frangipane Tart tastes deliciously indulgent and fresh.

If, like me, you’re a make ahead kind of person, preferring to spend as much time around the dinner table chatting (the lovely Mr G would say chatting a little too much  ), then it’s a perfect pudding to get together the day before, either cooking it to eat cold or, get it all ready to bake on the day to eat warm.
