Pink Lady® Apple tart
How can I best describe this apple tart? Caramelised apple wedges with honey, a touch of lemon, cranberries and a delicate combination of spices. But that’s not it yet – it all sits on an almond and butter layer, wrapped in a light and crisp butter pastry. Absolutely delicious. This Pink Lady® apple tart is one of the best I have ever made (and eaten). Yes, it’s a bit of extra work, but oh, so worth it.
Homemade lemon curd
In my house, lemon curd is an absolute favourite treat. There are so many ways we enjoy it – on a freshly baked scone, with fruit and berries as dessert or like in this recipe, on warm pancakes.
Dark chocolate truffles
Chocolate truffles are a decadent treat and always have a sense of luxuriousness about them. Although there are a few important things to know when working with chocolate, these truffles are not too difficult to make.
Homemade rusks
These rusks are so easy to make and high in fibre. The buttermilk gives it a lovely texture, without the need for eggs – so the recipe is indeed correct and not missing eggs.
Basic homemade white bread
Warm, homemade bread with butter melting into it and a dollop of chunky apricot jam always bring back delightful memories. There is something comforting about freshly baked bread, which is difficult to describe.
Botterkorsie-&-rooi uiequiche
Hierdie kors het ’n effens ander tekstuur as ’n tipiese broskors, maar is makliker om te hanteer, want dit hoef nie uitgerol te word nie.
Uie-tert met roosmaryn & pecorino
Gekaramelliseerde uie is so ’n eenvoudige, maar baie geurige vulsel vir die tert. Ideaal vir ’n teetafel of as bygereg. Lees die resep mooi, want dis eintlik ’n onderstebo-tert, so die laaste stap is inderdaad korrek.
Vanielje-brosbrood
Die reuk van varsgebakte koekies is onweerstaanbaar, so sit jou voorskoot aan en trek die maatkoppies nader. Almal gaan bly wees oor ‘n baksel of twee tuisgemaakte koekies. Dis ideaal vir die vakansietyd of maak ‘n fles of blik vol as ‘n bederfgeskenk.
Layered ice cream cake
A festive dessert that will have everyone thinking you spent hours in the kitchen and yet, it’s quite easy to make. This ice cream cake can be made well in advance, as it can remain frozen for a week or more. When I heard that AMC Cookware added a 16 cm Baking tin to the existing 24 cm and 20 cm versions in the range, I knew it would be perfect for many exciting baking ideas. And it’s really cute too – if a baking tin can be cute!
Warm citrus pudding
As a child, this was one of my all-time favourite winter desserts. It’s called a self-saucing citrus pudding and just what you need on a cold day. I can imagine the flavours as I am writing. The feather light batter on top has a sweet-sour sauce which forms underneath as it bakes and is quite a surprise element if you have never eaten this before. So, if you’re making this for the first time, don’t be alarmed when you dish up – this is how it’s supposed to be.
